ISLANDERS: Aaron Mahi (left), Martin Pahinui and George Kuo.
In the Key of Slack
By Michael S. Gant
THE SOUNDS of Hawaiian islands will waft through the Little Fox, as three premier slack key guitarists appear for a relaxing musical summit. George Kuo has been a leading proponent of the traditional style of Hawaiian playing since he first picked up the instrument in high school, learning from Raymond Kane and Gabby Pahinui; he has performed with Eddie Kamae and the Sons of Hawaii. Aaron Mahi is at home in both Hawaiian and classical music. Martin Pahinui is the son of Gabby and keeps his family's tuneful legacy alive.
GEORGE KUO, MARTIN PAHINUI and AARON MAHI perform Tuesday (Aug. 11) at the Little Fox, 2209 Broadway, Redwood City. Tickets are $17/$19. (650.369.4119)
