He has been thrilling audiences for more than 40 years. With easy-going style and kolohe (rascal) charm, he has built a loyal corps of Led Heads from Brussels to his birthplace on the Big Island of Hawaii. Recognition by his peers earned Led Grammy nominations in 2006, 2007 and 2009. =0D=0A==0D=0A=Like so many Hawaiians, Led grew up in a musical family. In the tiny black sand bay village of Kalapana, there were few distractions. “We didn't have electricity, no television, not even much radio,” says Led. “So we entertained ourselves. You could go to any house and everybody was playing music.”=0D=0A==0D=0A=Often everybody was playing music at a backyard party, many of which lasted for days. “People played in shifts, taking over when somebody went to sleep,” Led recalls. “You'd fall asleep to the music, wake up….and the music was still playing. That was the best alarm clock I ever had!” =0D=0A==0D=0A=Led tours the US extensively and has also appeared in Belgium, Germany, Canada, Japan, and Tahiti.=0D=0A==0D=0A=When home in Hawaii, Led can be found on Sunday evenings at Kona Brewing Company in Hawaii Kai where local talent and visiting musicians from the four corners of the globe drop in to join the “backyard” party.=0D=0A==0D=0A=http://www.ledkaapana.com/=0D=0A==0D=0A=Check us out!=0D=0A=Johnny D's Home Page - http://johnnyds.com/=0D=0A=Directions -- http://johnnyds.com/direct?ions.html=0D=0A=Underage Policy -- http://www.johnnyds.com/un?derage.html=0D=0A=Dinner/Show Reservations -- http://johnnyds.com/menus.?html=0D=0A=0D=0AStart time:8pm
