Fantastic show. Awesome music. Love to see him again. Glad to see the venue actually market the show as the Warehouse Blues Tour. Made Willie K happy. Glad he is sticking to his own true word.

I've been a fan of Willie K, but (living in California) have never seen him perform live. The concert was unbelievable in both music and voice. He is truly a great musician, and wonderful vocalist. The skill with which he can perform is amazing. The wife and I had a most enjoyable evening. One we'll both remember for quite some time!!!

Willy K was his usual outstanding performer. I have seen him 4 times previously in Maui and I just booked his Blues Show at Mulligans for mid January. I love his energy, range of music and he can play classical through the blues with the best of them.

Thank you Willy K , for sharing your music with us all!!!

Willie K is a national treasure. We would have liked to hear more from the Kalama Brothers...they were very good. The comedian could have cut his time by 15 minutes. Willie again was great as always. Again he is a national treasure.

It was a great concert. Willie played a wide variety of music and he was very funny. The accoustics in the venue were awesome. His voice filled the place up. Because it was Christmas time there was of course some Christmas music. I preferred his traditional stuff and especially his blues stuff to the Christmas music, but understand why he performed what he did. I'd definitely see Willie K in concert again.

Willie K is such a great entertainer, he has a beautiful voice no matter what he is singing, from blues to opera and keeps your attention the whole show. Love to hear his many family stories and his humor really makes me laugh. I can say that he is my favorite entertainer and wouldn't miss a show when he comes to my area. I saw his show last March and loved it also. Although the show in March was Willie K and friends and I will say that I was disappointed that his brother and sister-in-law did not perform at this show. His brother also has a beautiful voice and they both are excellent hula dancers. Hopefully the next time Willie K comes to the Emerald Queen he will include them in the show. Can't wait until next time!! So funny!! His rendition of We Are the World was hilarious, loved it. Willie was talking about the young singers today, singing their hip hop/rap love songs, sang a bit like them and then said "Yeah, we're not doing that !@#$ here tonight!!" He is so talented at playing the guitar and ukulele. So many favorite moments, too many mention.

My husband and I originally saw Willie at the Hard Rock Cafe in Lahaina....we were so impressed that on our next visit to Maui we made sure to go back in hopes that he would be there. We knew he was good - BUT at this concert...I could not believe the voice that comes out of that man...AWESOME. His personality can not be beat either.......

We all know how amazing Willie K's voice is but you never remember how truly beautiful it is until you hear him in person again. He never disapoints...from Kachi Kachi Music Makawao...to classic slack key "back porch" Hawaiian songs...to kick ass blues....and some small kid time stories tossed in....no one puts on a show like Uncle Willie!! If you are a local far from home or an adopted islander at heart...he's just what the doctor ordered!!!

I have to admit, I went to this show only because my husband wanted to go. I was expecting to be a bit bored. Not a huge fan of hours of guitar playing, especially slack key.
Boy, was I surprised. Willie K is a huge talent on many levels. He can play all sorts of instruments, do old style Hawaiian but also rock, awesome blues, sing opera, and crack jokes in between. He also brought two of his daughters on stage to entertain the crowd.
Fabulous evening that we will remember always.

Favorite moment: When Willie K came back for the encore, talking story about how he learned the ukelele from his Father, to his surprise. @

Setlist: Willie K sang some of our favorites, but the songs from the Kalama Brothers were so surprising. I Ka Pono, Pali Wind, Oahu, all brought tears to my eyes, such beautiful harmony and spirit. @

Opening act(s): The Kalama Brothers are absolutely fantastic!!! If it weren't for Willie K being there, they would definately be the Headliner (and are in their own right anyway). @

What can I say about a legend that hasn't already been said. He's one of the best entertainers of all time. You must see him live to get the fullness of his personality.

Just a note, the tickets said no video or photos allowed, but cameras were all over the place (I didn't take mine though) and I see below where you can add those, so I'm a bit confused on the policy.

Well it is hard to review a concert like this, I was expecting the old days where he rocked out for a couple of hours. A tip for anyone, he is usually 45 minutes late, back in the day and still to this day, he is on Hawaiian time, and I don't mind it. The opening act was good. He has an absolutely AMAZING VOICE, but the show was slow as heck and too much hula from his brother for over an hour, it was good hula, and nice singing, but I did not come for that. I thought it was adorable his tiny daughter sang, but maybe just let her sing 1 song, and get back to business. We saw some people get up and leave. Too bad, once he got warmed up (after 2 hours) the last 45 minutes or so was the old Willie K.
I like his humor and comedy, it is like Carlos Mencia and sometimes direct like a New Yorker kind of person, I just wished it was more "show" like and professional. For what we paid we felt we were in his backyard at a cookout. The event space was very good. The food was actually good, we had some Thai downstairs. The Casino itself, well just skip it and head to the show room. I know Willie is not 35 years old anymore, I guess I will just have to remember the old days. Maybe he is getting tired. It was more of a family type of show, so if you have a family to bring then this is perfect, I was looking for more of a rock show like I used to see from him. Wished we could have danced a couple of times, but there was no area set up for this so we moved around at the back a little.

So entertaining!
loved the hula dancers!
His brother was also a very great singer!
Bringing the music, musicians, dancers and family members, kids singing and performing
together made it all very wonderful!
Really liked the reasoning and display of respect from the hawaiians and the
tribal members at the beginning with the exchange of gifts.
Just truly a quality performance!

I have always followed Willie K (I am from Hawaii). He has gotten better than ever now. The venue was perfect for him, and he sounded great!! I hope you have him here again. He played extremely long, and everyone stayed and enjoyed him. He definately made everyone (including myself and my friends) feel like family. Bring him back to our state, and to the EQC again. More Wille!!!

Willie K rocked the Emerald Queen!!! He has a powerful voice from opera to BB King and don't mess with his Judy Garland. Watching him play the Ukelele, guitar and base was amazing. I enjoyed how he talked story through the performance. especially how he learned to play the ukelele.
