“The HawaiianGrateful Dead”—Bill Kreutzmann, The Grateful Dead.Kanekoa, The ultimate Hawaiian ‘ukulele jam band comes to the central coast for the first time! IMUA is opening the show!
Sailing in on a wave of blissful sound, Maui’s Nā Hōkū Hanohano Award winning band Kanekoa has become a global phenomenon. Powered by electric ‘ukuleles and exotic rhythms, these ‘ukulele masters ride the wave of Hawaiian roots with jam band energy, creating a sound they call Hawaiian jam-rock. For the last 25 years audiences never fail to swoon over their soulful originals and crafty covers interpreted with pure originality. The Grateful Dead’s drummer Bill Kreutzmann goes so far as to call them, “the Hawaiian Grateful Dead.” David Hidalgo of Los Lobos says, “These guys scare me. They are that good.” The Maui News says “Kanekoa’s new album, Songs from the Great Disruption, is easily one of the best releases by a Maui band ever.” Once you hear Vince Esquire’s lead ‘ukulele, it isn’t surprising to know why Vince was invited to play with the Allman Brothers band at their legendary Beacon Theater shows by his good friend Gregg Allman.— To hear this band, and the music that comes from their four strings…is to love this band.
“Kanekoa‘s live shows are legendary throughout the islands and beyond – anyone that has had the privilege of seeing Kanekoa perform can attest to a live experience unlike any other.”
— Kala Brand Music
“I’ve been jamming with Kanekoa for years now and whenever I get over to Maui we share the stage. Hawaiian style roots music at its best.”
—G LOVE
“The band is amazing…Completely stepping out of the traditional ‘ukulele approach”
—Mick Fleetwood, Fleetwood Mac
