Heritage of Aloha Festival

May 18, 19, 2013 Santa Fe Springs, CA
Had a wonderful time at the first annual Heritage of Aloha festival playing with young up-and-coming Hawaiian singer and ukulele strummer Kalyn Aolani - Troy Fernandez (Ka’au Crater Boys) even jumped in on bass with us! The festival featured an ukulele contest and invited me and Troy to be two of the judges; it was a huge success and they’re sure to be swamped with even more entrants next year.

ABOUT ME

A graduate of the University of Hawaii music program, I’ve been

teaching ukulele since 1994. I was fortunate enough to have met and studied with the legendary jazz ukulele musician Bill Tapia, and most importantly, got to know him as a person. He was very much an influence on me in more ways than one.


I moved to California in 2000 and now call the South Bay of Los Angeles my home although I take every chance I get to visit my beloved Hawaiian islands.
