BEST LOCAL
MUSICIAN
Willie K
And again, whether he’s playing songs he wrote, songs someone else wrote or just sitting on stage singing the alphabet in his underwear—which he doesn’t, sorry—Willie K wins your vote. A multiple Na Hoku Hanohano Award winner, Willie K. has played with or opened for B.B. King, Santana, Al DiMeola, Willie Nelson, Prince, Crosby, Stills and Nash, Elvin Bishop, Bonnie Raitt, Jackson Browne, Mick Fleetwood, George Benson and Jimmy Buffett. A couple years ago he appeared on VH-1 “100 Greatest Love Songs,” Extra, and even performed the halftime show on Monday Night Football’s Jets vs. Raiders game. Then in February of this year, Willie was featured at the NFL’s Pro Bowl Halftime show! Currently, Maui’s favorite rock-god uncle Willie K. is on a world tour but expect to see him back at Hapa’s at the end of August. Marty Dread was your runner-up in this category. [SC]
