Aloha Everyone!
I'm so looking forward to seeing you soon!!! Here's what they're saying on O'ahu about one of the reasons for my return to the Garden Isle...Hope to see you at one of these occasions...Big Aloha til then!
"Musician, artist and soon to be mother, Millicent Cummings is giving birth to a new CD this month called 'Altar Native'. Jerry Santos says of this concept album culminating six years of songwriting during her travels to each of the eight major Hawaiian Islands; "Millicent Cummings is the most exciting new voice to come from the Islands in years. Her songs are profound and her vocals are fabulous". Ledward Kaapana says, "Awesome, Awesome". Makana is quoted by saying, "A diverse and inspired contemporary original unique to Hawaii and the world".
Altar Native is a live recording of a concert presented by Hawai'i Public Radio at the Atherton Performance Art Center in Honolulu last year, accompanied by Cindy Combs on guitar, ukulele and back up vocals, JoeLohmeier on cello and Anela Lauren on Celtic harp. Ron Jacobs says; "Hawaii is unique; Millicent’s music is a National Geographic Soundscape of how, where and why it is. It would be simple to call ALTAR NATIVE a 'musical travelogue' of today’s Hawai’i. But liner notes are only seen, not heard. So listen to Millicent Cummings performing live. Every note tells a story you will long remember and often replay".
So here's what's happening this weekend!
