George Kahumoku Jr -Traditional Hawaiian Slack Key on 12-string guitar & vocals

Host of the show, this multiple Grammy Award & Hoku winning Slack Key Guitar Master performs on a 12-string custom guitar, singing the traditional Hawaiian songs he grew up with. A colorful storyteller, his performance is warm, humorous, and relaxing.

There?s a reason he?s been called Hawaii?s Renaissance man: George Kahumoku Jr. is a master slack key guitarist, songwriter, world-traveling performer, high school and college teacher, artist and sculptor, storyteller and writer, farmer and entrepreneur.

In February of 2006, George and fellow slack key artists and producers were thrilled to receive the 48th Grammy Award for Best Hawaiian Album, and subsequently won 3 more. All of these recordings are compilations from George?s weekly Wednesday night Slack Key Show at the Napili Kai Beach Resort.

George spends his free time maintaining his three-acre farm growing fruit and vegetables, dry-land taro (for his famous home-made poi) and tending his goats, chickens, ducks, and miniature horses. True to his Hawaiian heritage, wherever he goes, George brings bundles of fresh produce to share.
