Deeper Blue

DEEPER BLUE shows Kohala s evolution while influences of folk, jazz, and life in Hawaii continue to serve as a foundation and inspiration for the three members of this Big Island acoustic guitar trio: Grammy Award-winning Charles Michael Brotman, Charlie Recaido, and newest member, Rupert Tripp, Jr. As the trio evolves their structure stays basically the same -Brotman plays the melody line on nylon strings in his classical-style, and Recaido and Tripp create a unique chordal texture with their exquisite finger-style acoustic guitar playing on steel strings. The combination of the trio s diverse musical infl uences establishes the Kohala sound - an acoustic blend of island, folk and jazz.
