I first heard Eric’s music on Lani B’s Wiki Wiki Wednesday show. His version of Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah is hauntingly beautiful. I had to IM Lani to find out who this was because I had to have that CD immediately! Once she told me it was Eric Lee I went to his website and bought his first CD Crossroads. This came signed by Eric and on the first play I was a huge fan. I instantly recognized other songs from Lani’s show; Ku’i Ka Lono, Love Song of Tahiti, and others. A few months later he came to Pono Grill for a great show. Soon after he released his next album Kawehilani. Again I went to his website and bought the disk. Again it came signed! Another amazing CD every song is great (my favorite song is Hokulea Hula).

Iris and I saw him again July 1st and this time he brought his band – bass and drummer. Wow what a great show! Of course he got the local hula school dancers out on the floor. Thanks Eric!
