Willie K’s annual Bluesfest traditionally hosts special guests from nearby and far away “for an evening that is as diverse and eclectic as it is electrifying.”

Willie K continues to push the musical envelope with his diverse range of musical genres, attracting some of the world’s top musical talents to the MACC as his guest artists.

Despite his role in contemporary Hawaiian music, Willie K considers himself to be, first and foremost, a blues guitarist.

VIP tickets include: premium seating; meet-and-greet with some of the artists; access to the Yokouchi Courtyard bars and restrooms; Willie K CD; souvenir commemorative lanyard/VIP pass.
