Danny Carvalho Showcases New Directions in Return to HPR's Atherton July 19

Danny Carvalho returns to Hawaii Public Radio's intimate Atherton Performing Arts Studio on Saturday, July 19, at 7:30 p.m. The concert showcases new directions in music for the 23-year-old slack key artist, featuring his vocals on many pieces, as well as celebrating the diversity of his creative influences. Accompanying Carvalho are Wil Tafolo on bass and Von Baron on drums. Reservations for this and other performances in the 2014 Atherton Summer Season may be made online at www.hprtickets.org or by calling the station (955-8821) during regular business hours. Tickets are $30 general, $25 for HPR members, and $15 for students with ID. The Atherton Studio is located at Hawaii Public Radio, 738 Kaheka Street. Doors open at 7:00 p.m.; the music begins at 7:30.

Danny Carvalho began playing guitar at the age of nine and quickly became a student of Hawaiian ki ho‘alu (slack key) master Ozzie Kotani, who taught him through the traditional method of "watch and learn." While under Kotani's tutelage, Carvalho also studied the stylings of other guitarists, including Ledward Ka‘apana, Gabby Pahinui, Roland Cazimero, and Carlos Santana. By age 12, he had written his first song and performed at several slack key festivals around the Islands. In 2004, he became the first slack key guitarist to be featured on the renowned National Public Radio showcase for young classical musicians From The Top; and in November 2006, appeared on Garrison Keillor's A Prairie Home Companion.

In 2006, Carvalho released his first CD, Slack Key Journey • On My Way. He followed it two years later with his second CD, Somewhere. Both albums were nominated for Na Hoku Hanohano awards. After the release of Somewhere, Carvalho began a period of musical and intellectual exploration. He enrolled at the University of Hawai‘i at Manoa in Hawaiian Studies, and began volunteer work with the Polynesian Voyaging Society. He continued to hone his craft by studying voice with Catherine Goto and Neva Rego, as well as other styles of music to further broaden his horizons. His music was included in the film The Descendants and featured for a second time on A Prairie Home Companion (New Year's Eve 2011). His third album, Ke Au Hou, which translates to "a new life, a new beginning," was released last August.
