The Steel Guitar Forum

Hi Guys,

I'll be on Maui 2-15 to 2-24. Is there any live Hawaiian music with steel guitar to be heard?

Thanks,

bob

Forumite Don McClellan lives on Maui. He is in Thailand right now. Don't know if he'll be back by then. He gigs on steel on Maui.

Hello Bob,

I used to live on Maui... If you get a chance go to the Old Lahaina Luau. It is the best Luau on the Island and when I went there they had a great traditional Hawaiian band with a steel player playing a Fender Lap Steel.... C6th of Course. When I lived there 2 years ago there was a Hawaiian slack key concert every week at the hotels in Kaanapali.

enjoy!!

I'll be there at that time too.

I checked the HSGA site and it looks like it'll be worth calling some of the nicer hotels near Kapalua. It looks like there might be something there.

Check Henry Allen's website. His website is often way behind being updated but it has contacts, so you can email and/or telephone to find if and where he might be playing on Maui. If it's Steel music you're wanting, be sure to ask if his show will include Steel ....because many of his shows are guitar and/or ukulele.

I know of no other Steeler playing regularly on Maui. But local daily / weekly newspapers and weekly entertainment rags might also reveal some Steelin while you're there. Wading through the plentiful tourist guide pamplets racks might also be a resource to look closely in ....since it's almost a given that visitors flip through many of those guides anyway.

IF there is a Hawaiian music radio station still on the air there, they might also be a long-shot resource to contact (although much radio even here is canned-programming now, with telephone receptionists that often know little more than where the coffee machine is). The Hawaii Visitors Bureau should have an office on Maui, ....and just might have some slight clue ( ) of a Steel Guitar act while you're there.

Aloha,
