Soon it will be December, so with Christmas also on the horizon, Ho‘okena’s holiday show — at 7 p.m. Sunday (Dec. 1 )at Blue Note Hawaii, at the Outrigger Waikiki resort — is a savvy destination.
“Ho‘okena: Home for the Holidays” has been the yuletude theme for the group, known for its blend of Hawaiian and pop/folk music, served with the aloha spirit.
Ho‘okena is a Na Hoku Hanohano Award-winning and Grammy-nominated group, featuring Horace Dudoit III (12 string guitar), Chris Kamaka (stand-up fiddle bass) and Glen Smith (slack guitar). Maila Gibson Bandmann, traditionally a featured trouper with Ho‘okena, will be aboard to render “The Prayer” with Ho‘okena.
Of course, kumu hula Nani Dudoit and her halau will be aboard, with support from Aron Nelson (keyboards) and Kalei Dudoit (bass).
Doors open at 5 p.m., for dinner and drinks service.
Tickets: $35-$45, at www.bluenotehawaii.com or (808) 777-4890…
