Arts Kauai presents an evening of music featuring Ken Emerson and Eli Smart.
Ken is a Grammy winning songwriter and one of the most highly regarded slack key and steel guitarists living today. Ken was featured on Donald Fagen’s (Steely Dan) Grammy award winning Morph the Cat. His many additional touring/recording credits include Jackson Browne, Boz Scaggs, Charlie Musselwhite, Taj Mahal, Todd Rundgren, Ramblin’ Jack Elliot, and Elvin Bishop.

Eli Smart creates music coined “Aloha Soul”—a style that fuses the spirit of Hawaii with the grit of British soul music. Smart, who studied at the Paul McCartney-founded Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts, pairs the vibrant sounds Hawaiian lap steel guitar with the dark, captivating sounds of the bass. The result is a groovy sound that references the styles of the Beatles and Tame Impala.
