Willie K

Raised on Maui, Willie Kahaiali'i (a.k.a. Willie K) has been entertaining audiences with his music since the age of 10. He has evolved into an eclectic and charismatic singer, songwriter, entertainer and now actor. One of Hawaii's most versatile talents, Willie performs a myriad of musical genres, including Hawaiian, Jazz, Blues, Reggae, Rock, Country Western and even Opera. He has played with or opened for musical giants such as B.B. King, Santana, Al DiMeola, Willie Nelson, Prince, Crosby, Stills and Nash, Elvin Bishop, Bonnie Rait, Jackson Browne, Mick Fleetwood, George Benson, Jimmy Buffett and more. In 2009 he toured Germany with Simply Red.

Willie released his first CD, "Kahaiali'i" in 1992 and has since earned multiple Na Hoku Hanohano awards for his many CD recordings and is also a Grammy Music Awards nominee. His newest Christmas CD, "Willie Wonderland" hit the stores in November 2010 and Willie's long awaited Blues album "Warehouse Blues" has been released in September 2011.

Let the classic sounds of "Willie K" take you on a journey to the islands.

Kalama Brothers

Ryan and Kai are brothers who grew up in Southern California playing various instruments and singing a variety of music. They are comfortable performing at any venue and have become popular crowd-pleasers of all ages with their "Bring the Story Home" original lyrics and their recreation of cover songs.

The Kalama Brothers just released their first Hawaiian CD "Keau" under the Maui Tribe Records label with the amazing " Uncle" Willie K. Enjoying the journey back to their family roots, this album includes original songs with help from their late father Ron Kalama as they embrace the music that their father and uncle performed as the original Kalama Brothers.

Come and enjoy the amazing harmonies and fun personalities of the Kalama Brothers at the Mahalo Bash Concert.
