I recently played a benefit concert for a Friends of Pomaika’i, a wonderful arts integration school spearheaded by Rae Takemoto. It’s a beacon for total and joyful education. I’d love to see its vision spread across the country.https://friendsofpomaikai.org/I hope to see you this week on the Big Island, or next week in CA!

Thank you all for the lovely time in Maui, now on to the Big Island, then California tour. Link to Tour Schedule Photo by Bruce Scheer.
