SUMMARY:152nd King Kamehameha Day Celebration-King’s Parade & Ho’olaule’a
DESCRIPTION:Plan on attending one of the most colorful and special parades on June 15th in honor of Hawaii’s King Kamehameha\, from 9 to 2pm in Lihue. Pa‘u units including the queen and her entourage of princesses are wahine (women) wearing long\, colorful skirts called pa‘u. The wahine characteristically ride astride rather than sidesaddle\, which stems from the early 19th century when horses were introduced to Hawaii and ali‘i (royalty) women dressed up to ride for formal occasions. The riders participated in performances and displays\, the outfits became more elaborate. Other mounted units and displays are included in the parade \nThe long\, colorful skirts are usually of the color of the Hawaiian Islands the rider represents.  Red\, or ʻulaʻula\, is the color of the Island of Hawaiʻi\, nicknamed the Big Island. The ʻŌhiʻa Lehua is their flower.  Pink\, or ʻākala\, is Maui’s color. Nicknamed the Valley Isle\, their flower is the Lokelani Rose.  Gray\, or ʻāhinahina\, is associated with Kahoʻolawe nicknamed the Target Isle. Hinahina is their designated plant.  Orange\, or ʻalani\, is for Lānaʻi nicknamed the Pineapple Isle. Their lei material is the Kaunaʻoa vine.  Green\, or ʻōmaomao\, is the color of Molokaʻi whose nickname is the Friendly Isle. Their flower is that of the Kukui tree.  Yellow\, or melemele\, represents the island of Oʻahu nicknamed the Gathering Place. The ʻIlima is their flower.  The color purple\, or poni\, is for Kauaʻi nicknamed the Garden Isle. Their lei material is the Mokihana berry.  And white\, or keʻokeʻo\, is the color for the Forbidden Isle\, or Niʻihau. Uniquely\, their lei material is the Niʻihau shell. \nThis year is the 16th anniversary of the Kings Parade.  Pau riders wear special flowers and leis\, along with special dresses flowing off the back of the horse. Horses also are decorated with stunning lei configurations and flowers intertwined into manes and tails. This parade is a sight to behold and shouldn’t be missed. \nRoute road closure starts at 8:30 a.m.  The Parade starts from Vidinha Stadium at 9 a.m. and ends at the Historic Kauai County Building. Bring your own lawn chair\, umbrella and aloha!

His songs have been recorded by Britney Spears\, the Backstreet Boys\, the Oak Ridge Boys and many others\, selling more than 50\,000\,000 copies. His song\, “Come Back” was the debut single for Na Hoku Hanohano award winning band “Crossing Rain.” \nJason’s songs have been included in films and TV shows including “Scrubs\,” “Friday Night Lights\,” “Assassination Games\,” Disney’s “Kim Possible” “Dangerous Minds\,” “Kickin’ it Old Skool\,” “The Guiding Light\,” “The Miss America Pageant\,” and many more. He studied film and television composing at U.C.L.A.\, and contributed songs and background score for Emmy-winning and Emmy nominated TV shows. A guest lecturer at the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts (co-founded by Sir Paul McCartney) and at the Berklee School of Music\, he teaches the BMI Songwriter Workshops and has taught master classes in more than ten countries. He has published more than 125 articles in BMI’s magazines\, and has been interviewed as a songwriting expert for CNN\, NPR\, the BBC\, Rolling Stone\, and the New York Times. \nEmily Elbert builds her home in between worlds. In music\, she connects disparate concepts: traversing wide-ranging styles\, expressing both the contemplative and celebratory\, and fusing the Earthly with the ethereal. She’s honed her artistry on the road\, playing over a thousand independent solo shows from Peru to Palestine – but she has also become a sought-after collaborator\, playing in the bands of luminary artists including Leon Bridges\, Jacob Collier\, Esperanza Spalding\, Sara Bareilles\, Lorde\, and Jenny Lewis. All of these experiences feed into her music today. Anchored by what L.A. Weekly calls a “funky\, engrossing groove\,” the publication notes\, “Elbert would be considered remarkable just for her guitar playing\, which segues from hard-edged funk and blues to more gently subtle jazz intricacy. But she’s an equally adept vocalist\, weaving her soulful phrasing nimbly within the rhythms of her guitar chords.” \nEmily recently released her sixth independent album\, Woven Together\, a rhythmic\, flowing ode to the intersections of sensuality\, healing and progress. Upon its release\, PopMatters remarked\, “though it would be safe to call her a spiritual successor to Joni Mitchell\, Elbert is truly a chameleonic composer…this is Emily Elbert\, a name to bookmark.” \nSongwriter Ken Emerson and special guests will be featured. Ken Emerson is one of the world’s most highly regarded traditional Hawaiian slack key & steel guitarists living today. He is a monster player of both\, and he switches easily between them during his performances\, laying his guitar on his lap and picking up a steel bar for an instrumental interlude. Emerson is famous for his one-of-a-kind slack/steel style playing of vintage acoustic steel-bodied National Resonator guitars. Emerson won the prestigious Kahili Award for perpetuating Hawaiian culture and was a featured artist and composer on the first-ever National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences Grammy Award-winning Best Hawaiian Album. Emerson’s playing was also featured on Donald Fagen’s (Steely Dan) Grammy Award-winning Morph the Cat. He has many additional touring/recording credits including Jackson Brown\, Boz Scaggs\, Charlie Musselwhite\, Taj Mahal\,      Todd Rundgren\, Ramblin” Jack Elliott\, and Elvin Bishop. \nRock Hendricks is a world-renowned saxophonist\, producer\, and recording engineer. Throughout his career\, Rock performed and recorded with many legendary performers such as Michael Jackson\, John Lee Hooker\, Lydia Pense & Cold Blood\, The Funkadelics\, Michael Buble\, Marvin Gaye Jr.\, Marvin Gaye Jr. III\, The Temptations\, Bobby Womack\, Coke Escovedo\, Walter Becker and Don Fagan\, Steve Arrington\, The Family Stone\, Bonnie Raitt\, Leon Russel\, Dave Mason\, Sammy Hagar\, Motown Records\, Gabriel Hasselbach\, Jeff Lorber\, and Paul Hardcastle. \nRock wrote and produced music for the Electronic Arts game “The Sims” with over 150 million games sold. \nRock has recorded over 30 songs with Paul Hardcastle and has had nine Billboard #1 smooth jazz hits.  Rock is playing sax with Paul on yet another upcoming album to be released at the end of 2023. \nAllan Thomas is a longtime singer songwriter\, guitarist\, recording artist\, performer\, record producer and engineer. He has released seven albums of original material and is currently working on his 8th release. Mr Thomas receives airplay from his various releases worldwide. \nAllan has been writing songs since a late teen in 1967. He released his first album of original material for Sire Records in 1971. AT was a staff-songwriter for ABC Music in Los Angeles in the late 1980’s. \nMr Thomas has recorded and performed with Cannonball Adderley Quintet\, Graham Nash\,  David Crosby and Donald Fagen among others. He has opened shows for Weather Report\, Taj Mahal and Richie Havens among others. \nSome of Allan’s current recording band members include: Keith Carlock drums (Steely Dan)\, Jimmy Johnson bass (James Taylor)\, Russell Ferrante piano (Yellowjackets) Will Kennedy drums (Yellowjackets) Dean Parks guitar (Steely Dan) and Michael Landau guitar (Miles Davis). \nRandy Tico is known to many for his bass work with a diverse range of artists such as the critically acclaimed jazz nonet Matrix\, Jeff Bridges\, Strunz & Farah\, Airto & Flora Purim\, Jose Feliciano\, Kenny Loggins and John McEuen. \nBut to a whole other world he has established himself as an  award winning composer/sound designer for theater with Critical Mass Performance Group\, Denver Center of the Performing Arts\, Portland Center Stage\, Theater @ Boston Court and Ensemble Theater Company in his home town of Santa Barbara. \nEclectico brings these worlds together with a heartfelt journey through sonic landscapes sometimes uplifting\, other times bittersweet but always rich with emotion and gorgeous instrumental performances. Drawing from award winning theater scores\, soundtracks  and new compositions Eclectico is Tico’s first release since Earth Dance on Higher Octave in 1990.  .
