KKCR Celebrates
Community Life in 2010
with year-long partnerships
and series of events!
As we head into 2010, KKCR is proud to be partnering once again with a number of other Kaua'i non-profits in support of our community. Here are some of the upcoming highlights:
Saturday, February 6 - We have teamed up with the Kauai Concert Association for a concert and join fund-raiser from 7 - 9PM at the Performing Arts Center on the Kauai Community College campus. We will be presenting Ruby, featuring Erika Luckett. For more details and to buy tickets, please visit www.kauai-concert.org/ruby.html.
Sunday, February 28 - We will be presenting our second annual FUNd FEST - a full afternoon of music, food, & fun from 12 noon - 6PM at the Kilohana Plantation in Puhi. Please watch for more details to be announced soon!
January 18 thru March 29 - We have teamed up with the Garden Island Arts Council to present "The Stories Behind the Songs". As most of our listeners know, every year the Garden Island Arts Council presents the E Kanikapila Kakou event - a series of 12 weekly talk story/concerts held every Monday night from 6 - 9PM. This year, the event begins on January 18 and will run through March 29 and is being held at the Kauai Beach Resort. And, like last year, Linda Lester will be interviewing the EKK artists every Monday morning on her Mele No Ka 'Oi show between 7 - 9AM before that evening's show. Please tune in to hear such legendary artists as George Kahumoku, Eddie Kamai, Dennis Kamakahi, and many others... every Monday morning through March 29. For more information on the EKK artists and schedule, please visit the GIAC website at www.gardenislandarts.org.
Throughout 2010 - We are joining with the Malie Foundation, the Garden Island Arts Council, and the Kauai Music Festival to celebrate 2010 as "The Year of 'Olelo Hawai'i" - the Year of Hawaiian Language. For more information on this year-long celebration, please visit the Malie Foundation website at www.maliefoundation.org.
These are just a few of the events and partnerships you'll see (and hear) from KKCR this year. Please tune in to KKCR daily for more details!

KKCR’ S TALK STORY SERIES is an ongoing cultural preservation project focusing on Hawaiian musicians who share their stories and songs for present and future generations. Wala`au or Talk Story is translated as reminising or communicating, which perfectly captures the spirit of the project.
This edition of Talk Story is entitled Ka`a`mea, or the winds of change. The focus is on the innovators - those local musicians who have taken traditional Hawaiian music and instruments to a new level.
The artists for this year's series include Grammy winner and nominees: Ken Emerson, Paul Togioka and Jake Shimabukuro.

In the wake of Hurricane `Iniki’s devastation in 1992, community members gathered to develop a plan to stay connected, informed and safe. Their brainchild was Kaua`i Community Radio.
In the summer of 1997, KKCR broadcast its first signals island-wide. The small community-based, non-profit radio station connects all the remote communities on the isolated Garden Island. KKCR is committed to providing relevant, accurate, timely information during times of crisis. It’s also dedicated to representing the unique character of the island community.
KKCR’s program schedule reflects the broad, rich spectrum of Kaua`i’s community. Musical genres include vintage and contemporary Hawaiian, Jazz, Alternative, Reggae, World, Classical, Rock and Blues. Kaua`i Live features in-studio performances from local and visiting artists on Sunday evenings.
The Public Affairs programming includes weekly call-in talk shows, a Hawaiian Entertainment Calendar, Community Calendar, and Arts & Entertainment Calendar. Special interest programs include gardening, island pets, health and wellness, and teen radio.
As a commercial-free, non-profit entity, KKCR’s survival depends on support from its community – local and global. Please join KKCR’s `ohana (family). To support listener-powered community radio, please click here. |
