The fortunate few who get to sit backstage or in the garage while master musicians have fun sharing their joy of music in informal kanikapila-style experience a very special scene. Four master musicians at the top of their game will welcome you into their special space where they talk music to each other, challenge each other, inspire each other with their unique styles and artistry. “Without the burden of audience expectations and while sharing within the safe haven of a musical ʻohana, artists love to play the music that wells out of a deeper place of sharing and camaraderie.”
