As with every event at The MACC since August 8, we will be collecting non-perishable donations for the Maui Food Bank at this event for distribution to those impacted by the wildfires. The need continues, so please give generously. As an added incentive, everyone who brings a donation will be entered into a drawing to receive a signed show poster and a Ki Ho’alu merchandise bundle.

"Kī Hō'alu" - translating literally from the Hawaiian as “loosen the key," indicating the tuning in slack key guitar technique - is a musical tradition dating back to 19th century paniolo who played around the campfire after completing a day

of ranch work.

Slack key has become known as one of the world’s great acoustic guitar methods, especially since the Grammy Awards recognized Hawaiian music as a category all its own. An abundance of relaxed lawn seating gives the event an informal, local-style atmosphere.
