For those in the NYC area, I will be venturing outside the confines of my livingroom to perform with slack key player, luthier and good friend Atsuhiko Kawamura. We plan to play a 15 minute set of slack key and contemporary Hawaiian music at the "Japan Festival in Williamsburg" on May 24th.
For more info, check: quote:
Big Genius Art Supplies is proud to present Japan Festival in Williamsburg on Saturday, May 24 between 4pm and 11pm at the Williamsburg Publik House, located at 365 Union Ave. in Brooklyn, New York.
Members of the New York artists community originating from Japan present a day of art, exhibitions and displays aimed at inspiring New Yorkers with peaceful acts of artistic courage and the freedom of imagination.
Our idea is very simple, New York and the world needs inspiration, as artists, our passion as well as our responsibility is to inspire. Through Japan's culture and history together with our commitment to shaping the future which New York represents to all corners of the world, we present our effort to cause a chain reaction of peace and vitality.
The Japan Festival features 15 visual artists, short films presented by their directors, live Jazz, Pop and deejay mixes. Comedy by Yumi, from the New York Comedy Club. Street Dance Performance, theatrical play, plus many vendors, games, and great snacks.
This unique concept is a not for profit showcase intended for all people, young and old.
We'll practice this Saturday so our songlist is TBA. Should be fun. Aloha.

Not electric, electric. But will be plugging in our acoustic guitars for amplification. My friend just installed an i-beam in his Gibson. We won't have the fiddle and other instruments but we will have someone playing blues harp on `Uluwehi.
Our set list is 3 songs: - Haleakala Ku Hanohano
- Moloka`i Sweet Home (Kalapana)
- Ka `Uluwehi O Ke Kai
I hate to admit this here, but I will be playing in...  standard tuning. I know, I know - blasphemous! |

I always thought DGDGBD was standard tuning.  |

| You're right Dusty. That has been the case for my guitar for a number of years. I guess I should say, "I am experimenting with an unfamiliar tuning - EADGBE." |

Here's a photo from a couple weekends ago. Everyone had a great time. Despite some shaky hands and muffled notes at the start, it ended up pretty well. We even gained one fan who wanted to buy our nonexistent CD after the show!

In other words you'll be playing "tight key". In fact, from now on I propose that EADGBE tuning be referred to at TaroPatch.net as "Ki Likiliki".  |

My goal is to be able to play as well as people think I can. |
