Kala Koa Entertainment celebrates 16 years of bringing the biggest and brightest names in Hawaiian music to Seattle with the 2024 Seattle Slack Key Festival returning to Town Hall Sunday, November 10, 2024.

Produced by Kala Koa Entertainment, the Seattle Slack Key Festival celebrates the legacy of Hawaiian ki ho’alu (slack key), considered one of the great acoustic guitar traditions of the world, and takes fans on a Hawaiian musical journey showcasing GRAMMY-winning and Na Hoku Hanohao award-winning musicians from the islands and the mainland U.S.

Taking its name from a finger-picking style of guitar playing indigenous to Hawaii (as heard on the Grammy-nominated soundtrack for “The Descendants”), the Seattle Slack Key Festival brings the art of ki ho’alu guitar to Town Hall.
