Michael Keale, “Most Promising Artist” and “Island Music Album of the Year” nominee at the 2011 Nā Hōkū Hanohano Awards, hails from an iconic musical family, he was greatly influenced by his Uncle “Moe” Keale. His crooner style of singing is one of his special appeals, but itʻs just the tip of his musical acumen.
Cousin Walt Keale, breaking into the Hawaiian music scene with the band Kaukahi, was also highly influenced by Uncle Moe and cousins Nalani, Skippy and “Iz” Kamakawiwoʻole, musical giants in the world of Hawaiian music. His soulful voice makes him a favorite in the world of Hawaiian music.
Singer, surfer and songwriter Pancho Graham, bass player for the slack key band Napali and the Taj Mahalʻs Hula Blues Band, is a sought-after accompanist with the Hanalei Trio, Mokihana Serenaders, and many other musical groups and solo artists.

E KANIKAPILA KAKOU 2026: Week 8 ~ Makana & Friends
2026-03-23 18:00 - 20:30 | Kauai Community College Performing Arts Center, 3-1901 Kaumualii Hwy, Lihue, HI, 96766, United States
Summoning his broad influences and kumu lineage, Makana weaves an intimate evening of uplifting and diverse song, stringing together mele and moʻolelo with newly-invented and handed-down slack key tunings, styles and untold stories. Rooted in all things Hawaiian yet ripe with cultural diversity, this rare performance draws from his beloved classics as well as unheard, unreleased repertoire. Join Makana for a night of music to kindle the flames of culture, resilience and a path forward.
Makana has dedicated his life to perpetuating and expanding the realm of Hawaiian slack key guitar. A student of Bobby Moderow Jr. and slack key legends Raymond Kāne and Sonny Chillingworth, Makana’s virtuosic slack key guitar playing and instantly recognizable voice stand at the intersection of folk tradition and cultural avant-gardism. His songs have been featured on multiple Grammy-nominated records, his music is ubiquitous on social platforms (over 1 billion impressions) and his dedication to communities throughout Hawaiʻi has touched countless lives. The NY Times calls him “dazzling” and Esquire magazine has referred to Makana as “one of the greatest living players” of Hawaiian slack key guitar. His music transcends category and trend, and his onstage musical presence is- although purely acoustic- nothing short of symphonic.
Makana, musician extraordinaire – singer – composer – slack key artist – storyteller – entertainer – man with a mission – a human being with kuleana – and then some. Every Makana performance is a unique experience and leaves you with a need for more. EKK Season 2026 will leave you with a desire for more of the same, more of the extraordinary. Tickets
