Music: George Kahumoku Jr. ft. Daniel Ho & Tia Carrere

“George Kahumoku, Jr. is one of the great Hawaiian slack key guitarists, as well as a wonderful composer, songwriter, song interpreter, vocalist, and storyteller.” – George Winston, A Hawaiian Life “Mr. Kahumoku assumed a natural role as the evening’s host, peppering the show with charming, picaresque stories (“I grew up with 26 cousins in the same household,” went the setup to one of these), and speaking with ease about the origins of the songs. Before singing “I’ll Remember You,” a beloved Hawaiian standard, he recalled his debt to its songwriter, who gave him his first break at age 11. At every turn, he got a richly chiming tone from his acoustic guitar and favored a light, easeful flow of rhythm.” – Nate Chinen, New York Times “Today, native Hawaiian, George Kahumoku Jr is the embodiment of Hawaiian cultural history and its awakening over the last century. He has lived through the re-birth of the essence of his home and family. He is a master slack key musician with a voice as pure as a Pacific wind, a songwriter, a poet, a farmer, a sculptor, a teacher, a self-styled philosopher, and a published author.” – Terry Roland, No Depression “George Kahumoku, Jr. is a master… His music is played from his heart and soul through the very tips of his finger…” www.amzmusiczine.co “Kahumoku was an affable raconteur, mixing his dialogue with passionate renderings of material.” –Los Angeles Times
