Good morning,
The birds are chirping and it’s already a gorgeous day. Had a blast singing with my fellow chirps Kelly Covington and Gina Martinelli last night on Mana’o Radio (thanks to Gilbert Emata for the fantastic work on the keyboard!)…a big mahalo to all for listening in. Also had a fantastic time at the annual Derek Beaty Jazz Jam at Charley’s – wow…all those musicians on one stage sounding and looking good. Well the big holiday is only five days away and we have got a full week of music until then. Here is where you can find Phil & Angela Benoit:

P. S. Here’s a shot taken after last night’s radio show. From left: Gilbert Emata, Yours Truly, Kelly Covington and Gina Martinelli. I was honored and thrilled to sing in the company of such great performers. Mahalo plenty to Sandra Lee Akaka, Alana Cini, Don Lopez and Mana’o Radio for having us – this is one of the musical highlights for me every year.
Warmest aloha and happy holidays,
Angela
