Masters of Hawaiian Slack Key Guitar Concert

The concert series is every Wednesday evening at the Ritz-Carlton in Kapalua. Hawaiian slack key guitar is the music played in Hawaiian backyards throughout the islands. It is open tuning, unlike traditional guitar tuning. Many songs are sung in the Hawaiian language. It's very beautiful and earthy. As you sit and listen, you really get the feeling you're sitting in George's backyard listening to him and his Ohana playing the old songs and creating new ones together. George is the host of the concert series, and there is a different guest player every week. The Ukulele Boys are fabulous, nephews of George I believe. I have seen this show twice, and the boys have stolen the show both times. They can do things with a ukulele you wouldn't have thought possible. Masters of Slack Key Guitar Concert Series
