attention Hawaiian TB'ers

[andysvec]

Anyone here know (or is) the bassist for C&Ks tour starting this week? They are coming to Guam for a few shows later this month, I hope to catch them. I've lived on Guam for the better part of 20 years, but lived on Oahu for a few years in the 90s, and have always loved their music. I was in Mackey Feary's band when he was out here on Guam for a year, it's a shame what happened to him. But I'll always dig the Kalapana and Cecilio & Kapono stuff, must be an island thing!

They played here on the 4th of July. I didn't go but a friend went and said they had a bass player and even a drummer for some songs - couldn't tell you who they were though. There aren't a lot of bassists over here so a lot of bands fly their guys in from Honolulu or wherever.

Ever heard of John Cruz by chance? He's a local guy here that's starting to get some attention (he's been doing it for 20 years). He gets lumped into the slack key stuff, but he does do some rock songs. He's got some big hits on the radio: Island Style and Shine On among others. He also won a Grammy this year - it's the first time they've ever had a Hawaiian category. He came and recorded some vocals at our little studio recently - really cool guy.

I'm guessing you don't get many concerts there so don't miss C&K!
Aloha

Yeah, John Cruz's stuff is great, he's popular over here too. I don't think you can live on any island without hearing 'island style' on the radio. I didn't know he won a grammy, that's pretty cool.

Eh, no way. Are you with Creative Sound and Lighting by chance? I think we ordered some Auralex sheetblok from you guys a while back.

I think C&K used Byron Yasui in the past. At least for recording.

No I do not work for Creative Sound & Lighting which is the retail division of Custom Audio.I work for another pro audio company.Byron Yasui may have recorded with C & K in the past,but he is primarily known as an upright player with national recognition.
