Kealii Reichel Hawai`i’s number one recording artist, whose been on the Hawai`i Radio Connection show several times jokes, “It’s amazing how many people come out to our concerts. They must be really home sick or something!?!?”
His Producer Fred Krause says he’s also impressed with the Seattle/Tacoma Market. “The local people in the area seem to have a lot of disposable income because whenever we have a concert our CD sales go way up!”
