What fans are saying
Fantastic show! Started off with Hawaiian lap steel (acoustic and electric) songs for the first hour and then classic, blues/jazz songs on the Stratocaster for the second hour. Beautiful instruments locally made. One lap steel was made from wood salvaged from a church in Kona. Wendell Ing joined in and about the last half hour on piano. It's a rare treat to listen to such a skilled and talented guitarist who is dedicated preserving both the Hawaiian and blues/jazz genres, accompanied by an equally talented keyboard player. I look forward to more shows by Colin John and listening to his latest albums!
