As a Hawaiian man, he feels especially at home here on Kaua`i, where the old island style is something you can still feel as soon as you deplane. Mike's music is wide-ranging, and he has performed for many types of events. Weddings, private and public blessings, anniversaries and wedding vow renewals, family reunions, baby la`aus, graduation parties, and a host of private and public events. Mike infuses his Hawaiian roots with original compositions, classic favorites, and many party standards. |
