“Remembering my shows with Uncle Willie K and collaborating with him, I was able to know Arlie personally and professionally. What an ʻukulele talent. Arlie is a proactive person. Always genuine and kind. I asked him to play an ʻukulele part on my Nā Hōkū Award winning Christmas album and he did. Arlie is passionate about his music and I love seeing this about him.”

“I put Arlie’s CD on while we drove to Hāna. Man, it was the perfect music for the drive. All the beautiful subtleties of the landscape are reflected in the variety of compositions on this album. Jazz, rock, traditional, Hawaiian—Arlie plays it all. His writing, musicianship, and arranging are extremely engaging. Buy this CD for yourself. You’ll love it! The perfect island-style listening.”

“Iʻve spent my life around outstanding musicians and Arlie is one of the most exuberant and spirited artists Iʻve ever met. His love for ‘Ukulele is only matched by his superb technique, dynamic showmanship, and artful musicianship. And even though he stands as a master of his instrument, he still knows how to teach the joy of ‘Ukulele to players of all ages and levels.”
