About

HENRY KAPONO IN CONCERT:

Hawaiian singer-songwriter Henry Kapono has been delighting audiences with his gritty vocal style and island vibes for over 30 years. With his expansive catalog and charming stage presence, Kapono keeps fans in high spirits at his live shows with rosuing renditions of hits like  "I'm Coming Home" and "Stand In the Light". Whether he's plucking his ukelele or playing his signature white electric guitar, the crooner is a legendary act who never fails to warm hearts and minds on his nostalgic tours.

BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:

Born and raised in Hawaii, Henry Kapono got his start at the age of five, singing in the local church choir and playing ukelele with his father. He continued to teach himself other instruments including guitar by watching and listening to some of his favorite musicians. In high school and college he was an accomplished football player with plans of going pro, but after several injuries he switched gears and returned to his musical roots. He fronted the Waikiki-based group Pakalolo, playing shows around the islands and gaining a steady cult following along the way. He earned mainstream fame when he formed a duo alongside bandmate Cecilio Rodriguez and landed a deal with Columbia Records. Since then the Grammy-nominated artist has released 17 solo records, won 12 Hoku Hano Hano Awards (Hawaiian Grammys), played alongside Jimmy Buffet, and toured around the world. The decorated singer has three decades of performing under his belt, and he always has ticket buyers feeling the good vibes when he takes the stage.

    Great musicians!

    by luckylucy2020 on 8/26/14Waikiki Shell - Honolulu

    It was a wonderful positive concert with most of the very best contemporary Hawaiian musicians in Hawaii. I have enjoyed all of this music throughout the years and appreciate that we are all getting older and better. This was a concert for a more mature audience, but also held great interest for younger audience. My only complaint was the laser like lights that flashed all over the audience, blinding visually painful and why do they do that? Otherwise, a well organized, enjoyable concert. Henry, please do it again next year! Mahalo

    The Best Concert Ever!

    by Goodboymama on 8/26/14Waikiki Shell - Honolulu

    This concert was the best ever! The musicians and singers played from their hearts and we could feel it loud and clear! Best of all, it was for a very good cause. Henry Kapono should be commended for his love and good work. I hope we get to go to more concerts like this one. Aloha and Mahalo!

    A Concert of a Lifetime

    by Shaaaka on 8/26/14Waikiki Shell - Honolulu

    If you missed this once in a lifetime event then you missed your chance. We were already going to in the Islands for vacation but came one day earlier to attend this once in a lifetime concert. I would have flown in just for this event if I had to because there was no way I was going to miss this concert. Just look at the artist that performed. If you know classic contemporary music then you know what I'm talking about. Henry Kapono, you are a blessing to all of Hawaii foe what you do for the Kids of Make A Wish and the rest of the People of Hawaii.

    Amazing Evening!!

    by KeIkiBch on 8/26/14Waikiki Shell - Honolulu

    The concert was truly unforgettable...a gorgeous night at the Waikiki Shell, with a perfectly choreographed evening which blended together a seamless arrangement of awesome music, laughter, a few tears (see favorite moment below), and endless praise for an extremely talented performer and his incredibly gifted friends. Very highly recommended!

    Amazing

    by Hulahanby on 8/26/14Waikiki Shell - Honolulu

    What can I say... It was better than I expected. Went with many of my halau sisters and we had so much fun. The big screen was awesome. It allowed those of us farther back to be a part of it all.

    A mixture of the best talent on the islands!

    by beefjerkymusic on 8/26/14Waikiki Shell - Honolulu

    I loved it all! There were several amazingly skilled singers with an ability to just wow the crowd. The duets on guitar just drawed me in. There is something about this concert live that is so much better then listening to it on a recording. Hard to explain.

    This was an incredible concert of amazing local talent and was really well organized, all for a very good cause. Not only did my wife and I go and enjoy it beyond measure, but we bought tickets for our daughter and her husband who enjoyed it tremendously. Are only regret, we didn't buys tickets for our son and his wife. Really hope this becomes a yearly event!

    Da Best Concert Ever!

    by 14224 on 8/26/14Waikiki Shell - Honolulu

    Went with friends who I used to go to concerts with at the Shell, "back in the day". We all had a great time and realize we will never hear and see such a wonderful concert! It gave us chicken skin!!! The only negative is the Waikiki Shell rule. No outside food and drink. I realize that that revenue is important but so sad not to share a meal with friends. Let's go "back in the day" and let us bring back our picnics.

    Top shelf entertainment

    by HImusicfan on 8/26/14Waikiki Shell - Honolulu

    What a sweet venue, the Waikiki shell. And the performers were so good. Henry Kapono was at his finest. And Cazimero-what a charismatic presence. Had the feeling I was in the company of great legends.

    Henry Kapono was awesome!

    by Ionilina on 6/18/12Thunder Valley Casino Resort - Lincoln

    The concert exceeded my expectations. Henry is a great artist, writer and entertainer. All the band members from the drummer to percussionist, to bass guitarist are extremely talented! They blew the roof off with Black Magic Woman! Henry's voice is as clear and strong as ever. I enjoyed the variety of the old and new songs. I am so glad I went and brought my 25 year old daughter who also loved the concert. Thank you.

    Henry Kapono

    by Mulligan3299 on 6/18/12Thunder Valley Casino Resort - Lincoln

    Although I've been a huge C & K fan through the years, this was the first time I've seen Henry as a solo artist. I totally enjoyed the show and have grown to appreciate Henry Kapono as an artist even more! His voice continues to be a gift and I totally enjoyed the diversity of his set from Hawaiian to reggae. I was thrilled he threw in a few of the C & K tunes too. His band was great and the energy was dynamic. I can't wait to see him again over in the islands or back in Sacramento!!!
