Landon McNamara at Blue Note Hawaii

Landon McNamara at Blue Note Hawaii

Landon McNamara can feel it. Big things are coming. The singer-songwriter and guitarist from Hawaii’s North Shore is on the cusp of a major swell- familiar waters for this accomplished surfer- but this wave is one of song and soul.

McNamara’s newest drop, the laid back yet deeply spiritual “If You Only Knew,” renews the artist with strains of acoustic reggae and Hawaiian soul, underpinning a thoughtful recitation on the value of life, and ultimately, the power of love. “The only promised thing to us all is death. And at the end of our life, when you're taking that last breath, would you be satisfied with how you spent your time?” asks McNamara. “I wanna motivate people to realize life isn’t about money, or shiny things, or social status. It’s about experiences; creating beautiful memories; family; friends; finding out who you truly are and living that existence to the fullest. Above all, it’s about love.”

“Well its inevitable that one day we all gotta go drift away, but if you had to die tomorrow what would you do today, would you take that last breath, would you feel content with how that time was spent?” - Landon McNamara “If You Only Knew”
