The youngest artist to perform at the 33rd Annual Hawaiian Slack Key Guitar Festival - Kaua'i Style - is none other than Kahiau Lam-Ho. Kahiau was recently nominated in five categories for a Hoku Award with his first album. In my view he has a lot of upward potential for his music and along the way will gain a lot of traction with many music fans who has yet to discover him. So, plan to come out and support this young artist at the 33rd Annual Hawaiian Slack Key Guitar Festival - Kaua'i Style! The festival is scheduled for Sunday, November 23, 2025 from 1:00 PM - 5:00 PM at the Outrigger Kauai Beach Resort & Spa. Admission is just $10.00 for Kamaaina and $20.00 for Visitors. Children 12 & Under is free admission. We want to make the festival a family event. See you soon and thank you for your support. Mahalo.
