Born on the island of Kauai to a Hawaiian-Chinese mother and an Irish-Swedish father, Ed Kenney was to prove himself equally adept on stage, in nightclubs, and in recording studios. The popular baritone epitomizes the native son in love with his homeland; his ability and dedication to Hawaiian music new and old kept him in business for decades. Kenney attended prep school on a piano scholarship won in junior high; from there he went to the University of Oregon, where he appeared in productions such as Brigadoon. Returning to Hawaii, he took lead roles in productions at the Honolulu Community Theater and began nightclub singing and recording. Back on the mainland in 1955, he won a Rodgers and Hammerstein scholarship and appeared in Broadway's Shangri-La. Kenney then went back to Hawaii for singing engagements with the Honolulu Symphony Orchestra and the Royal Hawaiian Hotel. Kenney signed with Columbia Pictures, but instead of making movies, he chose to take a part in Flower Drum Song. Shortly thereafter, Kenney's friend Eaton Magoon, Jr. wrote 13 Daughters — Broadway's first Hawaiian musical — for Kenney, spotlighting his ability to sing in Hawaiian and English as well as true Hawaiian falsetto. Kenney returned to Hawaii in 1961 to headline at Duke Kahanamoku's for many months. His later career is distinguished by comedy material (including some novelty songs firmly in the Hawaiian tradition of poking fun at ethnicity), as well as songs in the modern style developed by Kui Lee and Don Ho.

TAIMANE: Her name means “diamond” in Samoan and perfectly reflects the different facets of her nature. Whether delicately finger-picking through Bach or radically ripping through Led Zeppelin, Taimane has the ability to morph genres – from classical to rock to flamenco – and stretch her instrument far beyond the familiar melodies of Hawai`i, where she grew up.

Among Taimane’s ‘ukulele teachers turned admirers are Roy Sakuma and Jake Shimabukuro. When Don Ho caught wind of the talented teen, he invited her to join him as part of his venerable variety show at the Waikiki Beachcomber, further fueling Taimane’s desire to perform for and connect with audiences.

In addition to performing her own distinctive versions of well-known pieces, Taimane weaves in original compositions that are as far ranging as her musical tastes. Her breakout CD, ‘Ukulele Dance features Bach’s “Tocatta,” Lalo Schifrin’s “Mission Impossible Theme,” and pieces she wrote for the planet Neptune and the Moon, as part of her series on the solar system.

With the fierceness of a rocker, the grace of a dancer, and the pageantry of a performance artist, Taimane and her music are wowing ever-larger audiences. She lights up rooms wherever she goes, sparkling like the diamond that she is. Learn More
