NO TIME TO GOOF OFF

Grammy winner David Crosby returns to Kauai

avid Crosby looks forward to his yearly visits to the North Shore. “Hanalei Bay is one of my favorite places on the planet.” he said. “I love getting up in the morning, drinking a cup of coffee, eating breakfast and laying in the sun until I get too hot.” The two-time Rock and Roll Hall of Famer first visited

Kauai in the 1960s. He’s been coming back ever since. “It’s a beautiful, stunning place,” he said. Crosby is returning to Kauai for a concert at the Kauai Beach Resort Jasmine Room. “When I tour, I’m with my crew, so I don’t have time just to goof off,” he said. “So that’s why I make a point to come back.”

The California, native’s road to stardom began in 1960 when he moved from Santa Barbara to Los Angeles. He soon established himself as a folksinger, and began singing in clubs and coffeehouses nationwide. In 1963, Crosby formed The Byrds with Roger McGuinn,

Australian musician Xavier Rudd to play Sunday

JESSICA ELSE TGIFR!DAY

avier Rudd will be performing at the third annual Mana Fest at the Church of the Pacific on Sunday, and the Australian roots musician said he’s looking forward to sharing in the island’s aloha spirit. “Every time I’ve come – I’ve played twice on Kauai – it’s a beautiful celebration,” Rudd said. “It’s an honor

and a gift to come and share with good folks and there’s good people (on the island). Good people are very special.” His love of the island is chronicled in one of the tracks from his newest record, “Nanna,” entitled “Hanalei” and based on the North Shore town. He said the song, which combines a roots feel with

tribal music and a strong message of the interconnectedness of humanity, basically wrote itself while he was on Kauai. “I ran to a waterfall, I don’t remember where I was, but the whole thing just sort of wrote itself,” Rudd said. “Some songs just come through you pretty fast and strong and I just let the music come

through. That’s definitely what happened with Hanalei.” While many people on Kauai have most likely heard the song by now, Rudd said Sunday will be the first time performing it live on the island. “Hawaii in general is a big part of the record,” he said. “There were about four different power centers around the world that energetically were part of this record, and Hawaii was one — in particular, Kauai.” Rudd said it’s the nurturing and wild feminine energy of Kauai that draws him back to the island time and time again because it is such a different feel than his Australian homeland. “Australia is pretty rootsy and

For the past few years, after spending much of his career as a solo artist, Rudd has been fronting for the band The United Nations, and the group has toured worldwide after recording “Nanna.” He explained that band is taking a break from touring together for the moment, and Rudd is now carrying a three-member band that will do a few songs from Nanna, but will also be branching out from the record. “The show is more of a ceremony to give thanks, to let go of the troubles of the day and the week,” Rudd said, “and celebrate

The exhibit formed the centerpiece of the festival which drew from the Japanese culture and the host culture of Hawaii to give viewers a greater sense of understanding of each

culture and strengthen the bridge of peace. The exhibit, shown here following a tour of New York City comes on the heels of President Barack Obama’s historic visit to Hiroshima and is an effort to raise true peace awareness and consciousness to the world and future generations about the disastrous effects of the atom bomb on humanity.
