Hawai'i State Art Museum, Front Lawn
Free Admission

On First Friday, September 3, 2010 from 6:00pm to 9:00pm, the Hawai‘i State Foundation on Culture and the Arts and the Friends of the Hawai‘i State Art Museum (HiSAM) present “Wonderful Wahine” Live from the Lawn celebrating the wealth of female talent on O’ahu. The event features two stages of live music, on the front lawn and the second floor lanai. Paula Fuga headlines, supported by Starr Kalahiki singing to the music of Satomi Yarimizo Trio, with singer/songwriter Candy Diaz opening the evening. Paula Fuga’s singing is soulful with a jazz appeal, inspired with Hawaiian-infused lyrics and the sounds of her ukulele. The first Hawaii-based artist invited to join the Kokua Festi- val in 2006, she has collaborated with Jack Johnson on her al- bums “Mana Maoli” and “Misery’s End” and just completed a mainland tour with him. She is a two time Na Hoku Hano Hano awardee.

Best known as a founding member of the all-women song- writer collective The Girlas, Candy Diaz now performs solo acoustic folk and dash of jazz flavored with a “world” sound. Starr Kalahiki has been singing for audiences for as long as she can remember, ranging from church to Hawaii Opera Theatre Chorus, ‘Ulalena on Maui to R&B band “Eight- eight,” to jazz singer on the cruise ship, “Star of Honolulu.” Satomi Yarimizo is a self-taught jazz-fusion pianist who regularly performs at various venues in Honolulu in a duo, trio, quartet and quintet. Her quintet group BOP TRIBAL won “Best Jazz Album Award” from the Hawaii Music Awards and a 4-star review from Downbeat magazine. Kathryn Schulmeister began playing bass at age 9. Fea- tured as a soloist on the popular National Public Radio show, “From the Top,” she has also toured with the Youth Orches- tra of the Americas, performing at venues such as Carnegie Hall and La Palais Montcalm.

The galleries of the Hawai‘i State Art Museum will be open during the event, as well as Downtown@HiSAM, and the Museum shop of Hawaii Showcase Productions. Food vendors on the Lawn include: Hale Kealoha Ai Pono, Soul Patrol, Bombay India, Le Crepe Café, Paletas by Onopops and Kettle Corn Hawaii. This event is produced by Tim Bos- tock Productions.
