Sunday March 18, 2012
Special guest artists Willie K. and Jimmy Borges

Raised on Maui, Willie Kahaiali'i (a.k.a. Willie K) has been entertaining audiences with his music since the age of 10. He has evolved into an eclectic and charismatic singer, songwriter, entertainer, and now actor. One of Hawaii's most versatile talents, Willie performs a myriad of musical genres, including Hawaiian, Jazz, Blues, Reggae, Rock, Country Western, and even Opera, and is a Grammy Music Awards nominee and has earned multiple Na Hoku Hanohano awards for his many CD recordings.

Jimmy Borges is known to his many loyal fans as the "keeper of the flame" - referring to his musical respect for Gershwin, Porter, Kern, Mercer, Arlen, Rodgers & Hart and the rest of those legendary composers. Jimmy's selections include music from these composers in every show.

Moonglow All-Star Swing Band is under the direction of Lisa Owen. The Moonglow All-Star Swing Band has been playing jazz on Maui since 1991. The band comprises some of the finest jazz musicians on our island, and many of those have played with the band since its inception. The versatility of the band is apparent in their extensive repertoire, ranging in music from the 30s to present day.
