His version of Leonard Cohen&#8217;s <strong>Hallelujah <\/strong>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 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ericleehawaii.com\/\">website<\/a> and bought his first CD <strong>Crossroads<\/strong>. This came signed by Eric and on the first play I was a huge fan. I instantly recognized other songs from Lani&#8217;s show; Ku&#8217;i Ka Lono, Love Song of Tahiti, and others. A few months later he came to <a title=\"Pono Hawaiian Grill\" href=\"http:\/\/mauiiris.com\/blog\/2013\/07\/04\/pono-hawaiian-grill\/\">Pono Grill<\/a> for a great show. Soon after he released his next album <strong>Kawehilani<\/strong>. Again I went to his website and bought the disk. Again it came signed! Another amazing CD <em>every<\/em> song is great (my favorite song is <strong>Hokulea Hula<\/strong>).<\/p>\n<p>Iris and I saw him again July 1st and this time he brought his band &#8211; bass and drummer. Wow what a great show! Of course he got the local hula school dancers out on the floor. Thanks Eric!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mauiiris.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/ErikLee2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"41\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/mauiiris.com\/blog\/2013\/07\/04\/eric-lee-pono\/eriklee2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/mauiiris.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/ErikLee2.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"4320,3240\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;5&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;DMC-ZS19&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1372711291&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;12.5&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;800&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.25&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"ErikLee2\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/mauiiris.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/ErikLee2-300x225.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/mauiiris.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/ErikLee2-1024x768.jpg\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-41\" alt=\"ErikLee2\" src=\"http:\/\/mauiiris.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/ErikLee2-300x225.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mauiiris.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/ErikLee2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mauiiris.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/ErikLee2-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mauiiris.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/ErikLee1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"40\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/mauiiris.com\/blog\/2013\/07\/04\/eric-lee-pono\/eriklee1\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/mauiiris.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/ErikLee1.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"4320,3240\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;3.3&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;DMC-ZS19&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1372709278&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;4.3&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;800&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0666666666667&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"ErikLee1\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/mauiiris.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/ErikLee1-300x225.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/mauiiris.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/ErikLee1-1024x768.jpg\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-40\" alt=\"ErikLee1\" src=\"http:\/\/mauiiris.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/ErikLee1-300x225.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mauiiris.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/ErikLee1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mauiiris.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/ErikLee1-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I first heard Eric&#8217;s music on Lani B&#8217;s Wiki Wiki Wednesday show.
