13. Taimane

Michael and Taimane share stories from their teenage years and talk about moments in their lives that have impacted their music. Whether delicately finger-picking through Bach or radically ripping through Led Zeppelin, Taimane has the ability to morph genres – from classical to rock to flamenco – and stretch her instrument far beyond the familiar melodies of Hawaii, where she grew up and began playing the ukulele at age five.

Recorded: July 2017 at The Gorge in George, WA
