Pre-Grammy Celebration Tia Carrere & Hawaiian Night

Last night the Grammy Museum held a celebration for its Hawaiian music nominees including Tia Carrere and Daniel Ho for their collaboration on He Nana. It was nice to see the ukele being played during one of the sets. I wish more bands utilized the instrument.

On the movie front, Carrere is attached to "a biopic about Hawaiian surfing legend Rell Sunn" called Wave Dancer. 

If you appreciate music beyond pop stars check out some of the more obsure genres and you might be pleasantly surprised.

The Grammy Awards air on Sunday, January 31st at 8pm.
