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.
