    This review is hard to write. How do you capture the feeling of perfect, pleasant music that…read moreabsolutely set the mood for your entire ceremony and reception in words? Words always feel inadequate. Let me start by saying Barefoot Minded was the thing we were the most sure about for our wedding and, as it turned out, it was with good reason! They were the uniting piece that made our ceremony and reception truly beautiful. We booked the duo, which in our case was Oren and Levi. Both were friendly and approachable and clearly cared deeply about creating excellent music and the right vibe to match our ceremony. Oren was easy to reach and was able to handle many likely annoyingly specific requests without ever making us feel like we were asking for too much. It made us even more confident we had booked the right music for the day. They played at both our ceremony and reception. At the ceremony, they captured such a perfect mood that our only regret was we didn't spend enough time appreciating them. During the reception, whenever we stopped listening to conversation, we could hear their beautiful tropical sounds coast through the noise. They were also a pleasure to dance to and got even our small wedding up and dancing. We honestly cannot recommend them enough. This is THE MUSIC you want for your Hawaiian wedding or get-together or whatever. Don't look anywhere else. They are absolutely perfect.

    We wanted a Hawaiian feel when it came down to live music. They are so talented and I wish we had…read morebooked them for the reception as well! Thank you for choosing us as your clients!

    The plan was set. As part of my trip, I had tickets to a "luau" type dinner and show with about…read more500 other people. The show was Willie K. Being totally out of touch with the Hawaiian music scene I thought..."Ut oh. Another Don Ho impersonator." I figured I was was going to eat as fast as I could so that when the show started I could slip out before "Tiny Bubbles" started... The dinner was actually pretty good at the Marriott. As I was finishing my dessert, the lights dimmed for the show to start....and I glanced around picking out my escape route. What came on stage was a huge bulky Samoan with hair that spread out 3 feet in diameter.. As he said in his subsequent monolog, if you were on a bus and he boarded it, you would get off the bus and wait for the next one. As he talked to warm up the audience he was actually pretty funny. Then he started to play. WOW. He played the guitar with a bass player and drummer. That was it. Yet, his playing filled the song....strumming and playing solos that seemed to be simultaneous and continuous. He was doing riffs with full cords that most guitarists would have trouble with single notes. He played a range of pop, oldies, folk, country. His solos were a match to any professional musician on the circuit today. In the middle of his set, he then said he was an out of the box musician.....and certainly he looked the part. But then.....he started to sing opera with a modern arrangement. Yes....this was way out of the box......and his voice was impeccable. A purist would probably argue his voice wasnt the best that the Met had to offer, but I have sat through enough operas to know he would at least qualify to audition at the Met. His 1.5 hour set just whizzed by. His skills as a guitarist were some of the best I have ever seen, bar none (I was an usher at the Greek Theater for 3 years and saw the world's best musicians there) His voice had had incredible range in range and in timbre. He could have a very pure operatic voice or a raspy Joe Cockerish twang. At the end of his performance, the whole audience was captivated and yelling "HANA HO." No...that isn't a Hugh Grant saying but what I was told was that it was Hawaiian for "ENCORE." If you are planning a trip to Hawaii and have some flexibility of dates and where to stay....and if you like great entertainment, see if you can attend a Wille K concert. He is that good. Looking at his bio later, I found he has backed up, played with or opened some of the biggest names in the business. One of his songs was Grammy nominated which didn't surprise me in tne the least. Well....my night didn't go according to plan....and I was glad. I would have stayed until dawn if he chose to play that long. I was fortunate to see such a great entertainer. HANA HO.

    Beware with your children taking lessons from Eric Dashuttaman (owner)…read more*told my son in front of the class that "YOUR MOTHER IS A C**!. My 13 year old son has been taking lessons from Eric for about 2 years and for the most part (with only a few incidents) we were happy with the situation. When he opened up his studio we were told that we had to go on an AutoPay program where any sessions missed, cancelled or otherwise could not be made up and if you didn't find another time slot that you would be charged anyway. That's ok if WE are cancelling, I understand thats our resposibility but when Eric canceled repetitively I found I could no longer keep up with the missed sessions and asked to be taken off Autopay...because of that Eric reprimanded my son at his next lesson in front of the other students, age 12 and 14 throwing him out of the class and telling him and his friends that his mother was a C*@!. I can't even spell out that word and can't believe he said that in the presence of children. One of the boys in the group recorded all this with his phone because of all the inappropriate things Eric was saying. He also told my son that because he has another instructor that comes to our house that he was out for that as well...an "injustice" as he said in the video. My son was afraid to even tell me all this but the boys ended up informing their parents. Since then all the parents in our group pulled the boys out but none have been reimbursed for all the missed sessions. I asked Eric to apologize to the boys but have heard nothing from him. His administator Candace Negran ignored our request.

    From the owner: Fun and inspirational guitar, ukulele, and music lessons for all ages, and skill levels.read more
