The plan was set. As part of my trip, I had tickets to a "luau" type dinner and show with about…read more500 other people. The show was Willie K. Being totally out of touch with the Hawaiian music scene I thought..."Ut oh. Another Don Ho impersonator." I figured I was was going to eat as fast as I could so that when the show started I could slip out before "Tiny Bubbles" started... The dinner was actually pretty good at the Marriott. As I was finishing my dessert, the lights dimmed for the show to start....and I glanced around picking out my escape route. What came on stage was a huge bulky Samoan with hair that spread out 3 feet in diameter.. As he said in his subsequent monolog, if you were on a bus and he boarded it, you would get off the bus and wait for the next one. As he talked to warm up the audience he was actually pretty funny. Then he started to play. WOW. He played the guitar with a bass player and drummer. That was it. Yet, his playing filled the song....strumming and playing solos that seemed to be simultaneous and continuous. He was doing riffs with full cords that most guitarists would have trouble with single notes. He played a range of pop, oldies, folk, country. His solos were a match to any professional musician on the circuit today. In the middle of his set, he then said he was an out of the box musician.....and certainly he looked the part. But then.....he started to sing opera with a modern arrangement. Yes....this was way out of the box......and his voice was impeccable. A purist would probably argue his voice wasnt the best that the Met had to offer, but I have sat through enough operas to know he would at least qualify to audition at the Met. His 1.5 hour set just whizzed by. His skills as a guitarist were some of the best I have ever seen, bar none (I was an usher at the Greek Theater for 3 years and saw the world's best musicians there) His voice had had incredible range in range and in timbre. He could have a very pure operatic voice or a raspy Joe Cockerish twang. At the end of his performance, the whole audience was captivated and yelling "HANA HO." No...that isn't a Hugh Grant saying but what I was told was that it was Hawaiian for "ENCORE." If you are planning a trip to Hawaii and have some flexibility of dates and where to stay....and if you like great entertainment, see if you can attend a Wille K concert. He is that good. Looking at his bio later, I found he has backed up, played with or opened some of the biggest names in the business. One of his songs was Grammy nominated which didn't surprise me in tne the least. Well....my night didn't go according to plan....and I was glad. I would have stayed until dawn if he chose to play that long. I was fortunate to see such a great entertainer. HANA HO.

Aloha Akoni.... Where do I even begin?! There's no…read morecombination of words that could describe just how amazing Akoni is... He is an insanely talented musician which is what first captivates you, but it's his love for his Ohana & his heart for people that keeps you wanting more & more of him! My family & I watched Akoni perform every night he played at our resort & although I'd love to say that the way he made our family feel so loved & special was a one-of-a-kind experience, but I know he leaves everyone he meets better than he found them & we all end up feeling like family! Such a talented & special soul. Mahalo!

We first saw Akoni perform while having dinner at Merriman's in Kapalua. During that same trip, we…read moresaw him again while we were having dinner at Duke's. We absolutely loved him both times we saw him. Just after seeing him perform twice, we knew we had to hire him for our upcoming vow renewal. Fastforward a few months later to the renewal, and he exceeded our expectations. He is not only an amazing and versatile musician, but he's one of the most down-to-earth people you'll ever meet. He encompasses the true meaning of "Aloha". You will not be disappointed if you hire Akoni for your event.

For the ceremony, the quality of his ukulele and voice sounds straight from a CD - clean, beautiful, perfect. However, what sold us was what he played during cocktail hour. He played a variety of songs from Hip Hop to Bruno mars and other pop song. He made them sound beautiful with the ukulele and appropriate for all ages. He was so creative and entertaining. We were all vibing to him and asking for his instagram. We even joked that he should go on American Idol because he has a good chance of winning. Thank you again for adding such beautiful music to the wedding!
