Performance Information

Meet Joseph Kekuku. In 1889, Joseph, a student at Kamehameha Schools, fabricated a steel bar in the school’s machine shop, slid it across the strings of his guitar and changed the sound and shape of the instrument forever. The grandson of a royal chanter, Joseph Kekuku went on to play his steel guitar for royalty in Hawai‘i and across Europe and for audiences throughout the continental United States. He inspired musicians around the world with the new “Hawaiian Sound,” and his influence continues today.

Attendees Under 18: Appropriate for all ages. Ages 2+ must have a ticket. For this performance only, children under 2 years of age do not require a ticket to sit on a parent or guardian’s lap.
