Daniel Ho

Daniel Ho says: "In 1994 (30 years ago), I came to Montalvo Arts Center to perform with my contemporary jazz band, Kilauea. I used to collect shaka photos with the audience, and this image is one of my favorite throwbacks from the good old days. On March 22nd, I will be performing Kilauea classics along with my current repertoire on ‘ukulele, slack key guitar, piano, and vocals. Joining me will be Randy Drake (drums), Alex Pierce (bass), and special guest Keali‘i Ceballos (vocals, hula). Come and share in this 30-year homecoming at the Montalvo Arts Center!" === “One of the most prolific and successful musicians Hawai’i has ever produced” —Ukulele Magazine Daniel Ho is a six-time Grammy Award winner, 11-time Grammy Award nominee, six-time Taiwanese Golden Melody Award winner, and recipient of multiple Hawaiian Music awards.
