Thread Name: Folkies in Hawaii?
Subject: RE: Folkies in Hawaii?
Hi Mark, the Pub mentioned is the Pioneer Inn. It was more bluesy but it was the local liveaboards that hung out there that played folk/bluegrass/old timey/shanties music. Drop Drake Thomas, of Lahaina Wielding, a line he's the builder/designer of the Hawaiian Chieftain & a great singer of shanties & a pretty fair musician, there's also a family run catamaran business (at least a couple cats) where one of the brothers is a fine singer & musician. The rest I don't know where the winds have blown them since, I'm going back better than 20 yrs but there were quite a few musicians hanging out there then even though 3 of them jumped Island with me to sail across the Pacific. Happy Hunting, Barry
