Join us this year for three days of Hawaiian steel guitar music. This yearly gathering of the world's finest non-pedal Hawaiian steel guitarists (both acoustic and electric) is a fun and inspiring event.
This year's guest of honor is noted steeler Dick Sanft. Mr. Sanft has been performing on the steel since his teens. He has traveled the world and played and recorded with the best in Hawaiian music. Starting in 1970 and continuing for over twenty years Dick Sanft was the featured steel guitarist in the Polynesian Luau show at Walt Disney World. Dick will perform each day of the convention and also during the Saturday night luau.
The HSGA Joliet convention is famous for its nightly 'no sleep' jam sessions. These impromptu, informal and free sessions start at about 9PM each night and frequently go until dawn. All musicians are invited to participate and share their music. These sessions are held nightly, including pre-convention Wednesday and post-luau Saturday. Uke players are especially welcome!
Daily stage sets from 9AM - 5PM (Saturday 9AM - 3PM). Saturday night luau and floor show!
Convention location: Holiday Inn Convention Center, Joliet, Illinois (near Chicago).
