Four-time Grammy-winner, master slack key guitarist GEORGE KAHUMOKU JR, known as “Hawai‘i’s Renaissance Man”

is a multiple Na Hōkū Hanohano (Hawaiian Grammy) Award winner, a vocalist, storyteller, songwriter & author, teacher, sculptor, farmer, and chef. He is the producer and star of the weekly Slack Key Show© on Maui, now celebrating nearly 20 years.


Jeff Peterson

Jeff is the top instrumental slack key guitarist today. Born and raised in upcountry Maui, he mastered the paniolo (cowboy) guitar tradition as well as becoming accomplished in multiple guitar styles including classical and jazz. His skill in multiple slack key tunings is on display and he explains the character of each as he changes tunings during the show. His stories about his original songs are fascinating and his execution of traditional melodies is flawless. The CD table is always busy at the end of the show!

Led Ka'apana

Led is the top slack key guitarist in Hawaii today. He delights audiences with his playful stage personality and top-line technical expertise. His vocals and stories are a delight and he has developed a large fan base of "Led Heads". Our front rows of reserved priority seats often sell out, so book early.

Maui’s renowned “Slack Key Show®"

...this group shares the uniquely Hawaiian styles of slack key guitar, ‘ukulele, and songs both traditional and new. Their music’s origins reach back to the early 19th century when Portuguese immigrants brought the ‘ukulele and Mexican cowboys brought guitars to Hawai‘i along with their ranching knowledge. Since then, Hawaiians made these instruments their own and these dynamic musicians reflect the best of traditions, musical virtuosity, and sparkling compositions.
