“2012 Na Hoku Hanohano award winner for ‘Most Promising Artist’ and ‘Jazz Album of the Year’, Starr Kalahiki takes to the stage with an enigmatic flourish. Sounding like she could jump on stage on Broadway or bring the house down at a packed stadium, Starr’s personality shines through her powerful voice. Quirky, fun and riding the gratitude train, she introduces us proudly to her cousin, Emma Coloma-Nakano who shows what a bass solo is all about.”
