Three Masters, featured regularly at Maui's renowned “Slack Key Show” share Hawai‘i's unique folk styles, with origins in the early 19th century Hawaiian paniolo (cowboy) culture.
Four-time Grammy-winner, master slack key guitarist George Kahumoku Jr., known as “Hawai‘i's Renaissance Man”, is a multiple Na H k Hanohano (Hawaiian Grammy) Award winner, a vocalist, storyteller, songwriter & author, teacher, sculptor, farmer, and chef.
A master of the slack key guitar and National Heritage Fellow, Led Kaapana has been one of Hawaii's most influential musicians for four decades. His mastery of stringed instruments, his exceptional picking style on slack key guitar and ‘ukulele, and his extraordinary baritone to leo ki`eki`e (falsetto) vocal range, have made him a musical legend and earned him multiple Na H k Awards.
Slack Key Guitarist David “Kawika” Kahiapo has won multiple Na Hoku Awards in a number of categories, including Slack Key Guitar Album of the Year and Island Album of the Year. A regular at Jack Johnson's Kokua Fests, his slack key roots and commitment to Hawaiian culture run deep.
