Owner description:
Doug & Sandy have been giving authentic Hawaiian slack key & ukelele concerts twice a week @ Hanalei Community Center for over 10 years. They're a standard attraction & an excellent way for visitors to learn about the history of Hawaii's slack key music as well as old stories that inspired the music - Sandy also relates some of the cultural connections of the survival of this native Hawaiian music.They also offer CD purchases on their website, but their primary purpose is to make people aware of the history & cultural importance of this type of music on Kauai.Concerts are one of the most affordable things to do on Kauai and appeal to both the individual visitor as well as to groups or families.
