Brother Noland (Conjugacion), who marked his Waikiki comeback last month with a two-night gig at Blue Note Hawaii at the Outrigger Waikiki resort, embarks on round two of his planned re-entry on the club scene.
His next pair of shows will be on the Big Island, as follows:
- April 11, at 7 p.m., at the Kaleiopapa Convention Center, at the Outrigger Kona Resort, at 78-128 Ehukai St., Kailua-Kona. Tickets: $45, general admission, at www.brothernoland.com
- April 12, at 7 p.m., at the Palace Theatre, in downtown Hilo’s waterfront. Tickets: $45, priority seating, $35 general admission, in advance; $5 extra on day of performance. Doors open at 6 p.m.
Noland’s Island Incredibles, his powerhouse all-star group, will perform in both shows. The group features Noland on guitars and vocals, with Gaylord Holomalia on keyboards, David Garibaldi on drums, Kata Maduli on bass, Michael Ruff on keyboards, Tavana on guitars, Fred Schreuders on guitars, Olivia Ruff on vocals, and Lila Chris on vocals.
Noland is introducing three new singles – “Ride the Water”, “Walkabout”, and “Las Vegas” –in the shows, notable for the group’s alter-native rhythms and funky grooves, embracing dynamic vocals that take Noland beyond the reef with his socko sound…
Locals loved Chamberlain’s ‘Island Sons’
Actor Richard Chamberlain, who died Saturday (March 29) following a stroke in Waimanalo, would have been 91 today (March 31).
While he was considered the king of the mini-series, because of his vast successes with the likes of “Shogun” and “The Thorn Birds,” locals adored him for his Honolulu-based “Island Sons” TV series, which was filmed here 25 years after “Dr. Kildare,” was his first big success where he portrayed a physician.
I remember some women here mentioned they’d love to be treated by Dr. Daniel Kulani, a doc Chamberlain portrayed at the fictional Kamehameha Medical Center, because of his kind demeanor.
He had a gentle manner, on and off screen, and a sweet singing voice, too, recording the theme song from “Dr. Kildare.” He earned three Golden Globes, for his performance in “Kildare,” “Shogun” and “Thorn Birds.”
The series ran for one season on CBS, during the1989-90 season.
Donations may be made in his name to either NPR or the Hawaiiia Humane Society…
And that’s Show Biz…
A class act and beautiful human always. He loved Hawai’i as home. Aloha sweet Richard.
Hard to believe that Richard Chamberlain would have been 91 yesterday. I remember him as Dr Kildare and also in Island sons. Well times sure flies as I will be 77on 4/3. Usually go down to the dining room for dinner each day as it’s included in our rent but the window washers are to come that day so i am hoping they come early enough on my floor so I can enjoy my meal, There is a new caterer here at the home and we have been getting orchids on our dinner plate the last few nights so i am keeping them in the icebox in water and will make myself a lei to wear for my birthday.
