Redondo Beach Performing Arts Center (Redondo Beach, CA)
For the last eight years, the Southern California Slack Key Festival has been the biggest Hawaiian music concert event in the mainland U.S., and features the most respected names in Hawaiian guitar music and hula today. Taking its name from a finger-picking style of guitar playing indigenous to Hawaii (wherein the strings are “slacked” from the standard tuning), the Slack Key Festival is again bringing the art of ki ho’alu guitar to the Redondo Beach Performing Arts Center. At this year’s event, artists like Cyril Pahinui, Jeff Peterson and Jim “Kimo” West will perform, hula and guitar workshops will be had on-site and an Island marketplace will allow you to eat Hawaiian fare and browse hundreds of traditional island-made goods.
