I play harmonica and ukulele (Dylan/N. Young style). My songs are parodies of blues, folk, and classic rock tunes. Themes of words: surfing, sailing, windward side, keikis. Check out my songs on Soundcloud. Not really wedding material here unless both are avid surfers. But good for other events, like graduations, birthdays, etc.

Fun music, especially for folks that like Dylan, N.Young, and blues tunes, and enjoy some wit to original lyrics
I'm a water sports nut (surfing, kiting mostly) living in Kailua, Oahu and have been playing music off and on over the last few decades. I like to personalize my songs to make them more enjoyable to play, with a theme that would be appreciated for like-minded water sports and island lifestyle folks. I also have a set of parodies especially for keikis (over an hours worth), so it is easy to please a wide audience. I am a beginner at gigging.
Simple set up, just an acoustic amp for my ukulele, harmonicas and microphone
Parodies of tunes from N.Young, Dylan, J.Buffet, Rolling Stones, Beatles, Eagles, Jack Johnson, John Cruz, Bradda Iz, America, Talking Heads, Allman Bros, Bob Marley; I have some completely original tunes. About 35 surf/sail/windward side Oahu songs and about 15 keiki-fun songs.
