Bringing the spirit of Hawai‘i to my hometown of Chatham has become one of the highlights of my year, and I’m thrilled to announce that the Masters of Hawaiian Music return on Saturday, February 28, 2026 at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church.

This year’s concert features three extraordinary artists who represent the very heart of Hawaiian musical tradition:

George Kahumoku Jr. – 4-Time Grammy Winner known as “Hawai‘i’s Renaissance Man”
Led Kaapana – National Heritage Fellow and slack key legend
Sonny Lim – Award-winning slack key and steel guitar master

Together, they share the beauty of kī-hō‘alu (slack key guitar), the uniquely Hawaiian fingerstyle tradition, along with ‘ukulele, storytelling, and the warm aloha spirit that has made this show beloved by audiences year after year.

We’re especially excited to welcome Led Kaapana back to Chatham. His last appearance here was in 2016, and many longtime attendees still talk about that magical evening.

What makes this concert special isn’t just the music. It’s the intimacy. Hearing these Grammy-winning artists up close, in a community setting, creates a feeling that’s part concert, part cultural gathering.

Even more meaningful: proceeds support St. Paul’s outreach programs, helping local families and neighbors in need.
