FREE to all Sunday night Celestial Cinema double feature (Down the Barrel & Encounters at the End of the World) ticket holders.
A slacker is one thing you could never call Makana. But you can call him a Slack Rocker.
Building upon his roots as the keeper of Hawaii's slack key flame, Makana takes the centuries-old tradition and blasts it into the 21st century, much in the way that rock bands of the '60s and '70s updated traditional genres like blues and folk music.
"I'm constantly expanding my language so I can communicate with everyone," he says. "It's really a musical journey, an evolution. My music is about exploring." - Makana
