Willie K

Tuesday, February 19: 
Willie K.  When the Honolulu Pulse said, “Willie K can play or sing almost anything an American audience might ask for,” that wasn’t hype, it was the literal truth. The Hawaiian phenomenon Willie K is undoubtedly the only artist in the world who can go into an Irish pub in the middle of Maui and play anything from indigenous acoustic Hawaiian music to jazz, reggae, rock, country and even opera—and not only get away with it but leave everyone within earshot slack-jawed in astonishment. Blue Note Hawai`i, 2335 Kalakaua Ave., Honolulu.  6:30 p.m. For tickets and information call (808) 777-4890 or visit www.bluenotehawaii.com.
