Kanikapila Sunday with Danny Carvalho and Jeff Peterson

Join us for an amazing afternoon of live Slack Key Guitar as these artists share their love for this tradition of Hawaiian music. Slack key virtuoso Danny Carvalho has studied with Ozzie Kotani, been featured on National Public Radio’s “From The Top”, highlighting Garrison Keillor’s “A Prairie Home Companion” in 2006 and 2011, and was featured in Alexander Payne’s 2011 movie, “The Descendants.”

Jeff Peterson is one of Hawaii’s most versatile and respected musicians, providing him with opportunities to collaborate with a wide variety of artists from Hawaii, the mainland and abroad. His focus on Slack Key guitar, classical, & jazz music has allowed him to develop a unique and transcendent voice on the guitar while being deeply rooted in the traditions of his Hawaiian heritage. Peterson has also contributed to two Grammy Award-winning recordings and has been honored with five Na Hoku Hanohano Awards.
