Another cool & breezy evening in the ‘valley and I just finished re-stringing and waxing my guitar. Damn, I hate changing strings, especially on the twelve .. it’s like stringing two guitars! Plus, I always end up getting a few pokes from the ends that stick out from the tuning pegs … suckers are like …
Aloha, everyone! Since I’m on a roll, I thought I’d continue my ramblings from yesterday’s blog. Let’s see … I told you all about the exciting new musical journey that Alex is embarking on in September, but MDNA still has a pretty full schedule until then. Because of road trips and several special events, there …
It’s been SOOOO long since I last posted a blog that I forgot how to sign in to the website! Anyway, since there are so many rumors going around concerning ManoaDNA’s future, I wanted to set the record straight. First of all, MDNA is NOT breaking up – we are, shall we say, moving on …
Aloha, all … Taking it slow this weekend … had some minor surgery on my back last week. Normally they would have just stitched it up and I’d be good to go, but since it was infected they had to leave it open to drain – gross!  Good news is that I’m feeling much …
Aloha, friends … been a long time since I posted a blog so please bear with me. Lemme start with the New Year .. had a great time performing at JTB’s New Years event at the Sheraton Waikiki. The best part was that our green room had an unobstructed view of the fireworks show – …
Hey guys … remember me?? Yups, it’s been a loooooong time since my last post … lots of stuff has happened since then. To start off, MDNA completed another very successful Japan tour earlier this month and announced to our fans that ‘IOLANI will be collaborating with Japan retailing giant UNIQLO on their 2014 Spring …
Aloha, friends! First of all, Happy Thanksgiving! We’re in Japan right now where it’s already Friday morning, so our Thanksgiving was yesterday. Since we were going on the road this week, our family celebrated Thanksgiving last weekend. So now we’re in Sendai which is located in Miyagi Prefecture, one of the three regions in Tohoku …
Aloha, friends ….. We’re back and ready to rock ‘n roll! The Big Island was awesome and my family and I were able to spend a couple of days “decompressing” at the Mauna Lani Bay Hotel. It is truly one of my favorite places to stay .. so peaceful and serene. I like to spend …
‘Morning peeps! Woke up to the sound of surf breaking and birds chirping … another beautiful morning on the Kohala Coast! The vog was pretty heavy when we arrived yesterday, but it doesn’t seem to be as thick today. That stuff wreaks havoc on my throat and voice so I hope we don’t sound too …
Brrrrr! Woke up to a chilly Manoa morning … someone said it was 65 degrees! Now I know that’s not cold for many of you, but for us folk here in paradise, it’s freezing! But like I’ve said many times before, I’ll take this weather over the hot, voggy stuff any day! The best part …
