Led Kaapana's mastery of stringed instruments,
particularly slack key guitar, and his extraordinary baritone and leo ki`eki`e
(falsetto) voices, have made him a musical legend. He has been thrilling
audiences for more than 40 years. With easy-going style and kolohe (rascal)
charm, he has built a loyal corps of Led Heads from Brussels to his
birthplace on the Big Island of Hawaii. Recognition by his peers earned Led 4
Grammy nominations in his own right and 2 wins on slack key compilations.

Flores |

Rosie Flores whips the best of rock and roll, honky tonk, early rockabilly, blues and jazz with the traditional sounds of her roots in San Antonio, TX. She took flight in Southern California, and has been a major figure in the Los Angeles, Austin, TX and Nashville music scenes – as well as Europe and Japan. Rosie's reputation as a high-octane rockabilly and country star is well established, and recent accolades have only made her musical bouquet fuller. June 2008 found Rosie onstage at the Waldorf Astoria in New York City, accepting the prestigious Peabody Award for her narration of the 10-hour documentary radio show on the history of Rockabilly, Whole Lotta Shakin, produced by Lex Gillespie. Damn good songwriter, award-winning guitar player, and break yer heartstrings singer. Critical raves from prestigious publications such as the Los Angeles Times and Guitar Player magazine, an LA Weekly Music Award for Best Rockabilly Swing Artist, a 2007 cover story in the Austin Chronicle, and the proclamation of Rosie Flores Day in August 2006 by Austin Mayor Will Wynn was topped off by an induction into the Austin Music Hall of Fame in 2007. She was recently voted as one of the "Top 75 Greatest Female Guitarists of All Time" by Venuszine. http://rosieflores.com |
