Ledward Kaapana and Fran Guidry

Led Kaapana’s mastery of stringed instruments, particularly slack key guitar, and his extraordinary baritone and leo ki`eki`e (falsetto) voices, have made him a musical legend. He has been thrilling audiences for more than 40 years. With easy-going style and kolohe (rascal) charm, he has built a loyal corps of Led Heads from Brussels to his birthplace on the Big Island of Hawaii. Recognition by his peers earned Led four Grammy nominations in his own right, two wins on slack key compilations, and a Favorite Entertainer Award at the 2009 Na Hoku Hanohano Awards.
