June 2000-MA'ALAEA, MAUI, HI--- Seascape Ma'alaea Restaurant presents the 3rd Annual Old Man & the Sea event on June 16, 6:30 - 9 p.m. at Maui Ocean Center. The event which commemorates Father's Day weekend features the contemporary island sounds of Maui's own Brown ohana (family), which includes Ikaika, Kevin, and "Grandpa" Harry Brown, who recently was honored with a Na Hoku Hanohano award for the haku mele (song) "Opio Opio." The Browns have traditionally performed at Maui Ocean Center since its opening in 1998. They're even more excited to perform this year because a Brown ohana from Hilo, Hawaii--also long-time entertainers--have been invited by Maui Ocean Center's Food & Beverage Manager Chad Andagan to perform with them for the first time. "This concert is going down in the Browns' history, whether we're related or not, but that really doesn't matter because in Hawaii everyone seems to be ohana," says Kevin Brown of "The Waiehu Sons" fame. The Brown ohana from Hilo include "Grandpa" Bunny Brown of the "Hilo Hawaiians" fame and his sons Boyson and Bobo. Kevin Brown attended the 20th (and last) Big Island Brown's family reunion recently and said that it was an emotionally charged performance. "Bunny's style is very similar to my dad 's and Boyson and Bobo's are similar to mine. And their children who are Ikaika's age, still in highschool, are starting to carry on the Brown tradition, too. "Come and join us in this special event, and just maybe you might see my father Harry and Bunny performing together," adds Kevin. Admissions for the Old Man & the Sea concert are $15, preconcert; $18 on concert day (June 16); and $13.50 for Aquarium members. The ticket stub will also give concert goers a 15-percent discount on the Old Man & the Sea brunch held at Seascape Ma'alaea Restaurant on Father's Day "All-you-can eat" buffet on Sunday, June 18. Father's Day brunch includes roast prime rib of beef, snow crab legs with drawn butter, and more. Reservations suggested. For reservations and more information call 270-7020. |
