I happen to be at a hotel down in Waikiki and heard this musician playing some of the best music I’ve heard in awhile..  He’s a folk singer kinda guy at a time when we all love to hear it.  His name is Nathan Emmans (or Nathan J. Emmans) and his music is what I need.  He plays some good stuff and it put me right where I needed to be. While he was under contract for the Hotel I was visiting he played some covers as well including; I must say.  The best version of Hallelujah I’ve heard since Leonard Cohen.. Seriously!

I’ve found some early footage of him on Youtube; below.  He looks pretty much the same, however, he’s since turn those locks into clean, loose, dreads (as opposed to tight Rastaboy dreads).  He’s also gained a few more years from the below video.  Age brings out the soul in song writers and singers and now he’s pretty ripe.  Its an honor to hear him sing and with the exception of being in Hawaii, he’s definitely got the talent to make it far.   He plays at a couple of places regularly.  One is a resort bar Hale Koa’s, two at Irish pubs (Kelly O’neils & O’tools) , and another laid back bar (Cheeseburger Bar).

Currently, it looks as though He’s also added a Drummer.  I hate to do this but, I don’t remember his name but I “think” its Constantine, or some other cool sounding “C” Name.  No; You know what??  Its “Konrad”. I’ve gotta say, adding a bit of percussion does add something to the performance.  It also gives him a person to Interact with.  I happened to catch thier first gig together and it was worth it.

Go Check him out..  He pretty much rocks..  Someday he’ll get the opportunity and off he’ll go.  The best thing about an artist is when you get to go on a ride with the music and;  I feel good when I listen to him play. Maybe you’ll find a piece of peace (TM) through his music..
