Jones Center’s FamJam performance series, where families can play and move together, continues this fall, kicking off Saturday, October 17 with a travel back in time combined with the opportunity for indoor ice skating and swimming.
Join us on a musical journey for the whole family: Joseph Kekuku and the Voice of the Steel Guitar.
It’s the late 1800s. It’s a time of invention – trains, steamboats, cameras, even electricity is new at the King’s palace in Honolulu. An eleven-year-old Native Hawaiian boy accidentally strikes the strings of his guitar with a bolt from a railroad track and unlocks a brand-new sound. Hawaiian music – and the music of America – is never the same. Based on a true story, this energetic production traces the invention of the steel guitar from the taro fields to vaudeville halls to Blues, Country, Rock and Roll music and beyond. Check out a preview of the show here.
