Traditional slack key guitarist and Hawaiian vocalist Kevin Brown is one of Hawaiʻi’s finest musicians and instructors, his easy-going style has deeply influenced a generation of musicians both in Hawaiʻi and on the mainland. Kevin Brown sings and teaches Hawaiian songs with the true feeling of aloha.
Though Kevin, who lives in his country home town of Waiehu, Maui, and (son) Ikaika, who now resides on the “9th Island of Las Vegas,” are separated by the Pacific Ocean, slack key traditions are kept alive and well.
