Maunalua is a Honolulu trio that continues to master the dual arts of slack key guitar and falsetto harmony.

See them here in two videos, one shot at Duke’s, a big beachside bar at the Outrigger Hotel. This club is so close to the water that you can watch the tourists fall off their rental boards while you listen.

Chai’s is a chic nightclub at the foot of the Aloha Tower, and it's named for the spot nearby where musicians congregated and jammed back in the day.
