Ledward Kaapana with Jesse Gregorio — “I Kona” (Live from the Atherton) A signature song from a master, played in an intimate room.

🌿🎸 Ledward Kaapana — “E Kuʻu Morning Dew” Live at Honey’s at Koʻolau Ledward Kaapana playing “E Kuʻu Morning Dew,” a song he carries into nearly every show as a tribute to Eddie and Myrna Kamae and lyricist Larry Kimura. His ʻukulele and voice move in that relaxed, swinging way only Led has—thumb driving the pulse, melody floating on top—and the whole room settles into the story of the mele. At his side is longtime bassist Jesse Gregorio Sr., holding down the low end and giving Led all the spa
