I am heading over to Tacoma WA for the GAL convention next month, flying Hawaiian Airlines from Australia and spending a couple of days in Honolulu on the way back. Very much open to suggestions on uke related places to visit in and around Honolulu.
Check out the Kani Ka Pila Grille at the Outrigger Reef on the beach in Waikiki for good Hawaiian music every night of the week. If you think you could handle a more adventurous scene I can tell you a great place to go on Fridays by the airport.
Aloha Kekani, Westside!
Tried to send you a PM but your mailbox is full.
Do you know of any Kanikapila on the West side?
See you at the festival, if not before. What is the thing in Mililani? Are you performing?

Damn if I didn't just see a whole bunch of emails I never responded to. Since they're a few years old, would be weird to respond now I guess.
I play bass with, get this, Ke Kani Nahe. No, not planned, just ended up that way. Another story. We're at the Town Center every 2nd Saturday. The crowd draw is very cool - all locals from the area just hanging out.
Haha not THAT kind of adventure! I just mean it is not a spot that caters to visitors and the crowd there is ... Different. Amazing Hawaiian falsetto singing and ukulele playing. My wife and I go almost every Friday.
Thanks for the info and suggestions. Annoyingly I am going to only be in Honolulu on Monday and Tuesday nights and a week after the Ukelele festival. Hopefully I can find some music on one evening or the other.
At Kani Ka Pila Grille, Monday night is usually Sean Naauao and Tuesday is usually Weldon Kekauoha. From 6pm - 9pm. Both are top-notch, and you can't beat the price - free!
My wife and I go see lots of live music. We might even be there on one of those nights. I'll let you know what else I find.
