I have been listening to Pandora Radio, and there is a steel guitar player named Nani Wolfgramm who is pretty good. I have never heard of her before, and can't find any info on the web (except her album). Does she live in Hawaii? Where does she play? Anyone?
Aloha,

Yeah, anyone else I mentioned it to also assumed "female" - as did I, before researching.
He's from New Zealand - don't know if he's still around, but his uncle was Bill Wolfgramm, who recorded albums of Maori songs (and died about seven years ago). |

Nani is a "he" and Amazon has some listings for "Nani Wolfgramm & His Islanders." Monitor Records issued some of his stuff in the mid-90s, with Smithsonian Folkways doing later reissues. |

I don't know the answer, but a +1 on Pandora Radio. I got a new cell phone and created a Hawaiian music station. Instead of wishing that XM Radio would add Hawaiian music, I just plug my phone into my car stereo using Pandora. |
