CONCERTS & TOURS

Annual schedule of concerts of traditional Hawaiian slack key guitar & ukulele to build awareness and educate people about this music and its history.
"When I first heard traditional slack key, I was hooked, just like a fish.  I had studied American folk music and World folk music and had never heard anything like slack key.  It is a most beautiful and unique musical art form."  -- Sandra McMaster, Volunteer
