Keola Beamer and Jeff Peterson in Portland

Hawaiian Guitarists Keola Beamer and Jeff Peterson One is a Hawaiian legend who has stretched the boundaries of slack key guitar music while remaining true to the soul of its deeply Hawaiian roots. The other is a rising star of the next generation of slack key players, who uses the style’s open tunings to explore multiple genres with ease and flair. Together, they present an evening of superb guitar that explores the beauty of Hawaiian music as it reflects its native land, the range of Hawaii’s many cultural influences, and the complexity of technique that has shaped the distinctively resonant sounds of Hawaii. Both Keola Beamer and Jeff Peterson are featured on the soundtrack of the film , starring George Clooney, and now they come to Portland’s Alberta Rose Theatre for this concert. They are joined by lovely dancer Moanalani Beamer, who brings hula and Hawaiian chants to the stage, and adds musical texture with ancient Hawaiian instruments.
