“Virtuosic keepers of a cultural flame” – NY Times 
Featured at Maui’s renowned “Slack Key Show®”, these dynamic musicians reflect the best of traditional to contemporary, along with musical virtuosity and sparkling compositions. They share the uniquely Hawaiian styles of slack key guitar, ‘ukulele, and songs with origins that reach back to the early 19th century when Portuguese immigrants brought ‘ukuleles and Mexican cowboys brought guitars to Hawai‘i. Hawaiians made these instruments their own — these 3 winning artists share a delightful show in the intimate ProArts setting.
