IN CELEBRATION OF THE 2017 SUMMER READING PROGRAM!

Slack key guitarist Jeff Peterson will discuss his life in music and perform some instrumental songs. Jeff is one of Hawaii’s most versatile and respected musicians, providing him with opportunities to collaborate with a wide variety of artists from Hawaii, the mainland and abroad. His focus on Slack Key guitar, classical, & jazz music has allowed him to develop a unique and transcendent voice on the guitar while being deeply rooted in the traditions of his Hawaiian heritage. This 45-minute program is suitable for all ages. Young children must be accompanied by a parent or adult caregiver.
