The impact that Kamehameha has on Hawaii’s history cannot be understated. This year’s 103rd celebration will highlight and honor his profound legacy. ags.hawaii.gov/kamehameha/

Keller Williams is an American singer, songwriter, and musician who combines elements of bluegrass, folk, alternative rock, reggae, electronica/dance, jazz, and funk, along with other assorted genres. He is often described as a ‘one-man jam-band’ due to his frequent use of live phrase looping with multiple instruments. Since he first appeared on the scene in the early ’90s, Keller Williams has defined the term independent artist, and his 16 albums tell only half the story. Keller built his reputation initially on his engaging live performances, no two of which are ever alike. Williams’ solo live shows—and his ability to improvise to his determinedly quirky tunes despite the absence of an actual band—quickly became the stuff of legend, and his audience grew exponentially when word spread about this exciting, unpredictable performer. Today, whether performing as a one-man band, with a backup band, or solo acoustic, Keller always reveals himself as an artist of great stylistic breadth and infinite imagination. He is always on a quest for the new, never following the prescribed path laid out by the conventional music business but rather the one of his own making. mauiarts.org/calendar
