Koa Performs at FREE Concert

Thursday, October 24th, from 6 – 7:30 PM at
Historic Baldwin Home Museum – Front Lawn
(corner of Dickenson and Front Streets)

Kalani Miles, ‘Aiau Koa, Mark Vaught and Richard Bissen comprise the group, Koa.

Although the four musicians come from diverse musical backgrounds, they are all passionate about one thing — Hawaiian music. The common thread that brought these friends together was their passion for the songs of old Hawai‘i and the challenge of achieving that traditional sound revered by their parents. Whether playing smooth melodies or striking harmonies on guitar, bass and ‘ukulele, the members of Koa love to engage in old time Hawaiian music. They perform together around the island.

The outdoor event takes place from 6-7:30 pm at the Baldwin Home Lawn, located at the corner of Dickenson and Front Streets. There is limited seating on a first come, first served basis; low beach chairs and mats are welcome.

Paid parking is available in the lot behind the Baldwin Home.

Now in its 11th year, the Hawaiian Music Series is presented by the Lahaina Restoration Foundation and is sponsored by the Hawaii Tourism Authority and Outlets of Maui.

A message from Wailau Ryder:

I started playing music at around 8 yrs old. My mother was a kumu hula for her halau and my dad played guitar, so growing up I was always surrounded by music and hula. I’ve been playing music for over 30 years with many different artists. I’ve played alongside Bruddah Iz, as a founding member of Na Palapalai, Randy Lorenzo, The Lim Family, Raiatea Helm, Amy Gilliom, Napua Greig, Kalani Pe’a, and many more. I’m currently working on a few music projects as a producer/arranger/musician and played on over 100 albums to date. I perform with lots of local artists here in Hawaii till this day.
