MALE MUSICIAN
Willie K
Having worked with the likes of Willie Nelson, Bonnie Raitt and Cecilio and Kapono while scooping up multiple Na Hoku Hanohano awards, Willie Kahaiali’i resides in that tier of Maui musicians whose accomplishments are louder than the actual music. But rest on his laurels he does not. With tons of gigs on-island, including an occasional appearance at the MACC, Kahaiali’i continues to be one of Maui’s hardest working musicians. In addition to his phenomenal guitar skills, he’s incredibly versatile as a musician, which leads to a unique, genre-spanning sound. [KB]
