Tonight at the Blaisdell Arena, the Summer Soul Fest is taking place. Last week we spoke with the headliners, The Stylistics. This week we continue with a conversation with two more acts: The Shirelles' Beverly Lee and The Crystals' DeeDee Kenniebrew. These two girl group pioneers told HPR's Dave Lawrence stories that stretched back to a very different era.

This Saturday night The Crystal Method returns. The popular group broke onto radio in the late 90’s via a hit collaborative remake with the band Filter, and has pushed the limits of EDM – Electronic Dance Music – since. Ken Jordan and Scott Kirkland called HPR's Dave Lawrence to talk prior to their trip to Hawai`i, and discussed how radio factors into their background.
