With Keola’s supervision and direction, this site contains the best learning center and resources available for the Slack Key Guitar. Please see the menu on the upper right corner to begin your exploration. In January of 2018 Keola was appointed Board Chair of Aloha Kuamoʻo ʻĀina, a 501c3 non-profit formed for the protection and preservation of the Kuamoʻo Battlefield and Burial Grounds in Kona, Hawaii. He is an Award Winning Author and Artistic Director of The Mohala Hou Foundation, which presents Aloha Music Camp. Keola was also the author of the very first written instruction book for the Hawaiian Slack Key Guitar, published in 1972. Keola established himself early as a leader of the wave of contemporary Hawaiian music when he wrote the classic Honolulu City Lights – which is still one of the absolute all-time best selling recordings in the history of Hawaiian Music. The Beamers trace their roots to royal families of the 14th century and have been cultural practitioners through generations. His great-grandmother was one of Hawaiʻi’s most illustrious composers, Helen Desha Beamer. Keola’s mother was revered Hawaiian cultural treasure, Aunty Nona Beamer. Keola Beamerʻs well of talent springs from five generations of Hawaiʻi’s most illustrious and beloved musical families. His wife Moanalani Beamer joins Keola in performances with her beautiful hula and the exquisite sounds of traditional Hawaiian instruments. Keola was one of the first to use Hawaiian slack key techniques to create contemporary music that is also at home on jazz or classical stages. He is a Hawaiian legend: singer-songwriter, composer, guitar master, with an impeccable, gorgeous style that is featured on The Descendants soundtrack and his 17 CDs. Keola Beamer has breathed new life into slack key guitar music yet stays true to its deep Hawaiian roots. “Keola Beamer’s style is the best there is on the planet”, says Willie Nelson.
