Keola Beamer & Raiatea Helm
Two of the most powerful Hawaiian music stars

Keola Beamer & Raitea Helm    
Thursday May 3    8pm    
$30 / $35    

Keola Beamer is a Hawaiian music legend. One of Hawai'i's premier singer-songwriters, arrangers, composers and masters of the Hawaiian slack key guitar, Keola Beamer's breadth of talent springs from 5 generations of one of Hawai'i's most illustrious musical families. A multiple Na Hoku Hanohano Award Winner (Hawaiian Music Awards) and “Lifetime Achievement Award” Recipient, Keola established himself early as a leader in contemporary Hawaiian music when he wrote the classic "Honolulu City Lights," one of the all-time best-selling records in Hawaiian music history. Keola was one of the first to integrate Hawaiian chants and instruments, like the tiny gourd whistle and the nose flute, with contemporary forms of music.

At 25, Raiatea Helm has already been recognized twice as “Female Vocalist of the Year,” received two Grammy® nominations, and eight Na Hoku Hanohano Awards. Her distinctively endearing voice can traverse the octaves from natural range to Hawaiian falsetto singing delivered with purity and brilliance. She made history in 2006 as Hawai'i's first solo female vocalist ever to receive a Grammy Nomination for her second CD, the aptly named "Sweet and Lovely." The New York Times noted that "[Raiatea Helm] is poised and utterly elegant …" In 2009, she was honored with the privilege of performing at the Presidential Inaugural Ball in Washington DC as part of the inaugural festivities for Barack Obama.

What makes the collaboration across two generations work? Raiatea: “It just clicked. When we are together, our spirits blend, and when we perform together, the joy comes out.” Keola: “Our mutual respect and love for one another. I love working with Raiatea's voice…there is a quality of light in her voice, a sort of luminescence.” Raiatea: “He is so funny and full of new ideas, you forget what a legend he is in the Hawaiian music community…[he] taught me that nothing is acceptable short of perfection.” "We make music to make people happy," adds Raiatea. "Everyone can relate to it."

He approaches his father-in-law, a former senior police officer now retired, for more details about his wife's murder but can get little additional information.

The Four Bitchin' Babes
Hormonal Imbalance!™
… A Mood Swinging Musical Revue


Wednesday, May 9, 8pm
$20 / $25    


Start with four richly gifted singer-songwriters, add 3/4 cup married life, four kids, four part harmony vocals, one piano, four guitars, one Rockin' Purple Bass, a dollop of sharp social commentary, cheerleading pom poms, a pinch of pms, a wardrobe of bling-bling, and you’ve got an Estrogen fueled hilarious new show that celebrates the best of Babes, Boys, and Botox.

After 17 years as a traveling pajama party, seven recordings, and one full length concert DVD, this Fabulous Female Folkestra of indestructible Divas are hotter than ever. Literally!  Always evolving, witty and charming, the Babes® welcome in a new era with a new cast, and a new musical revue that is one part comedy road show, one part celebration of hearth and home.

 With sorority sister chemistry they perform original songs and stories offering both poignant views and unbridled comedic commentary on the joys and dilemmas of everyday life.  With heavenly harmony, they share struggles to balance careers and family, chocolate obsessions with low carb inner peace, CNN and TV Land.  From promising to never pay retail and finding a man who cooks, to dealing with inadequate pay and inadequately cut swim wear, all the while living victoriously after the Romantic Bubble Bursts.

Spend an entertaining evening with these outrageously funny and multi-talented musician gal pals as they examine and ultimately celebrate the lives of today’s men and women as we all search for balance.
