Keola Beamer with Moanalani Beamer

The Barclay’s Hawaiian Music Masters Series features some of the best musicians working in Hawai’i today. These artists bring not only their cultural traditions, but showcase the amazing range and diversity of Hawaiian music currently played on the islands.  The 2020 season opens with Hawaiian music legend Keola Beamer who has stretched the boundaries of slack key guitar music while remaining true to the soul of its deeply Hawaiian roots.  His 1978 release, “Honolulu City Lights,” is one of the all-time best-selling records in Hawaiian music history. Today, he is one of Hawai’i’s premier singer-songwriters, arrangers, composers and masters of the Hawaiian slack key guitar, whose original songs have become beloved classics of contemporary Hawaiian music.  Keola is joined by Kumu Hula Moanalani Beamer, whose style reflects the long hula lineage of the Beamer family.  Mahalo!

Gold Seats include a post-concert reception with the artists.
