Catching a Groove (Steve & Teresa and Honolulu Beerworks)

Barry and Abigail discuss Catching a Wave by Steve & Teresa and sample Kewalo’s Cream Ale, CoCoWeizen, and Hop Island from Honolulu Beerworks in Honolulu, Hawaii. After a failed Hawaiian music scouting mission involving a fabulous live performance  - but no CDs to take home! - by John Mahi, Barry purchased this album at Aloha Got Soul, a Honolulu-based record label championing new music and rare reissues from Hawaii! While there, he also purchased Lead Me to the Garden by ʻĀina, From These Shores (various artists), Lemuria by Lemuria, and BLUE by Dae Hon. We previously reviewed Maui Brewing Co. in Kihei, Hawaii, in our episode Hi (Peter Gabriel & Maui Brewing Co.). Abigail and Barry both relied heavily on Huapala Hawaiian Music and Hula Archives for background research and lyrics on this album! Read the lyrics, translations, and other background information for these songs! Aloha ʻIa ʻO Waiʻanae Nani Waiʻaleʻale ʻAuhea ʻOe ʻAlekoki South Sea Sadie / My Little Grass Shack Kahoʻolawe Song Tahauala Wai O Ke Aniani Read more about banana flavoring and Gros Michel bananas! The opening of ‘Alekoki reminded Abigail of Jack Johnson music. This led to a discussion of slack-key guitar. Read more! The appearance of the humuhumunukunukuapua'a in My Little Grass Shack took Abigail back in time to the first time she ever heard of the humuhumunukunukuapua'a, in the song HUMUHUMUNUKUNUKUAPUA’A from the High School Musical 2 Original Soundtrack. We played a sample of Maile Lau Li’i Li’i by Bob Brozman and Ledward Kaapana. Check out Aloha Got Soul on Bandcamp to purchase digital copies of their albums! Up next… Infinity on High by Fall Out Boy Jingles are by our friend Pete Coe. Visit Anosmia Awareness for more information on Barry’s condition.
