Moss Lane Hawaiian Music House Concerts

16/03/2025

I wanted to let you all know about a house concert coming up very soon. Shawn Pimental and Lehua Kalima will be performing at Moss Lane (my home) on Thursday, March 27 at 7 pm. Weʻll also have potluck paʻina at 6 pm.

This will be a wonderful concert with two headlining artists. Shawn is a guitarist, singer, composer, and producer, and has been both a touring and studio musician for just about any Hawaiian musician of merit you could name. His voice blends so beautifully with that of songbird Lehua, whom you may recognize as a member of the fabulous trio, Nā Leo Pilimehana (Nā Leo), a wāhine group celebrating more than 40 years of recording and performing. Recently, Shawn and Lehua teamed up with Kawika Kahiapo as the group Kulāiwi, and garnered multiple Nā Hōkū awards for their self-titled album.
Performing hula with this duo will be Shawnʻs wife, Pono, whose dancing will entrance and delight.
Below is a video of Shawn and Lehua 's beautiful Nā Hōkū-winning song, "Ku'u Lei Puakenikeni." Enjoy!

Please let me know if you'd like more information and/or to reserve seats by emailing me at [email protected]

I hope you can join us!
Me ke aloha,
Bam

He has been thrilling audiences for over 40 years.

Recognition by his peers eared led 4 Grammy nominations in his own right and 2 wins on slcck key compilations.

Fran Guidry has been an avid Slack Key enthusiast for over 20 years, studying with and performing alongside many Hawaiian legends.
