  • 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 paniolo (Hawaiian cowboy) culture. Four-time Grammy-winner, master slack key guitarist George Kahumoku Jr., known as “Hawai‘i's Renaissance Man,” is a multiple Na Hoku Hanohano (Hawaiian Grammy) Award winner, a vocalist, storyteller, songwriter, author, teacher, sculptor, farmer, and chef. A talented multi-instrumentalist, Nathan Aweau has been part of such award-winning groups as HAPA, Ka‘eo, and The Ali‘i. His seven solo CDs have won him multiple Na Hoku Awards, including Male Vocalist of the Year (the only person to have won 3 times), Song of the Year (twice), and Island Album of the Year, among others. Slack Key guitarist David “Kawika” Kahiapo most recently won two 2015 Na Hoku Awards, one for Slack Key Guitar Album of the Year, the other for Island Album. A regular at Jack Johnson's Kokua Fests, his slack key roots and commitment to Hawaiian culture runs deep.
