Album Notes

This CD combines an island feel (slack key guitar, ukulele and Hawaiian percussion instruments) with a folk "story-telling" style of songwriting, featuring songs written about the beautiful places and people of Hana, Maui. Songs such as "Stone by Stone" and "A Dancer's Hands" provide wonderful stories of the history of this small Hawaiian town. Songs such as "The Road To Hana" and "Poi Boy" offer a tongue-in-cheek look at tourism, while "Hold On To The Land" is a poignant song about the fight to protect the precious land and fragile culture of Hana. For anyone who's been to Hana, Maui - this is a "must not be missed" treasure. For the rest of you, it's simply a delightful musical experience - one you'll certainly enjoy.

Steve and Kathy Sargenti have appeared in concert with the likes of Bonnie Raitt, Willy Nelson, Pat Simmons, Michael McDonald, Los Lobos, Norton Buffalo and Leo Kottke. In addition to their own recording projects, they have recorded both album and film score tracks with Kenny Loggins, Davis Grisman, Joe Weed, as well as many popular Hawaiian artists.

They are featured performers at music festivals in the Hawaiian Islands and miraculously manage to make a living in the Hawaiian resort industry playing almost entirely original music.

Their island blend of great writing, vocals and world-class musicianship add up to a duo that shouldn't be missed.
