Hawaiian music and the outdoors seem to go together! Since we're already having an Aloha Concert in the theatre, why not have more Hawaiian music out on the Patio? And make it free for everyone, whether they are coming to the shows inside or not? This is the idea behind our Patio Performances and we're doing it again this Saturday. So if you need some island time, come on down!
Be sure to check out our web site regularly as we will be adding events throughout the season. You can order online or through the box office and the price is the same either way. There are no add-ons, no "facilities surcharges" and no fee for parking at the Shannon Center.

2:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.
Tickets $47.00
One is a Hawaiian legend who has stretched the boundaries of slack key guitar music while remaining true to the soul of its deeply Hawaiian roots. The other is a rising star of the next generation of slack key players, who uses the style's open tunings to explore multiple genres with ease and flair. Together, they present an evening of superb guitar that explores the beauty of Hawaiian music as it reflects its native land, the range of Hawai'i's many cultural influences, and the complexity of technique that has shaped the distinctively resonant sounds of Hawai'I, slack key guitar or ki-ho'alu. They are joined by lovely dancer Moanalani Beamer, who brings hula and Hawaiian chants to the stage, and adds musical texture with ancient Hawaiian instruments.
We're giving away a pair of tickets to the evening show on Facebook. The give away will happen Wednesday afternoon, so find it and enter now!
