Slack-key, hula at Atherton
Hoku Award winner John Keawe returns to Hawaii Public Radio’s Atherton Studio with his sweet slack-key guitar and singing, with his wife Hope putting on the hula moves in on March 10th concert.
John Keawe grew up in the Hawaii Island town of Hawi listening to rock ‘n’ roll music. After a four-year tour in the Navy, he returned home and was drawn to slack-key, eventually teaching himself to play this style of music and developing his own distinct style.
