Details:
Lance Kalahiki''s love of music began as a young child while listening to his Dad jam with his "backyard gang." The music of Olomana, Hui O''Hana, the Makaha Sons of Ni''ihau, and Billy Kau''i inspired lance and motivated him to develop a deeper understanding of island music. His father-in-law, Leland K. "Atta Boy" Isaacs, Jr., a slack key guitarist, presented Lance with his first guitar. From there Lance was "off and strumming."
"Free The Land" is an island reggae style collection of 10 songs, including the title track, "Free The Land," which Lance sang at Iolani Palace during a vigil commemorating the 100 year anniversary of the overthrow.
Lance says, "the song just came to me" while standing with his ukulele in front of the Queen''s statue. As he sang, others at the statue joined in; a memory which still gives him "chicken skin."
A "really old tape" received from his brother-in-law provided the impetus for recording the Nambi feel-good tune, "Joy In The Morning."
"East Side Rider" was written while Lance prepared to hit the surf one gorgeous morning at Bellows with his surf buddies. "I wrote it for my East-Side crew," says Lance.
"Puakenikeni" was inspired by his uncle, who''s smile reflected "ear to ear joy" upon seeing three "huge " puakenikeni trees in the yard of his new home on moving day.
Lance wrote "Living In The Islands," a song about some of his favorite "island things" during a short stay on the mainland.
