A special visit from a very special old friend! The last time he came and played at Tiki Taix he was only 97 years old, now that he is 98 he's going to show us some of his new tricks. He actually played at the Grand Opening of the Royal Hawaiian in 1927! Come join in the fun and hear the ukulele jazz music of our very own living breathing Royal Hawaiian!
Also - King Kukulele & The Friki Tikis will be leaving for a 5 country tour of Europe. This will be your last chance to send the boys off with a bang, so come to Tiki Taix and make a couple of requests, hear a few new songs, and even sing a couple yourself.
