Keola Beamer / Raiatea Helm

Stanford Lively Arts

A joyous and inspiring concert performer, Keola Beamer is one of the world’s foremost practitioners of Hawaiian slack key guitar—a fingerstyle acoustic tradition drawing its name from the loosening or “slacking” of strings from standard tuning. The composer in the ’70s of the now-legendary Hawaiian hit “Honolulu City Lights,” Beamer most recently delighted fans on disc with 2010’s Keola Beamer & Raiatea, featuring the Grammy- nominated and multiple HARA Award–winning singer Raiatea Helm, who joins Beamer for this intimate daytime performance.
