Makana Releases a New CD Venus And The Sky Turns To Clay: The Instrumental World Of Makana. He was voted by Guitar Player Magazine as one of the top three guitarists in America in Guitar Player’s Guitar Superstar Competition. He mesmerizes audiences with his complex finger-picking style. And he will be performing on Kauai for a CD release party. “Venus and the Sky Turns to Clay” explores the instrumental world of Makana, showcasing the sheer beauty and power of the sounds that he produces with his guitar. Revered as the youngest master of Hawaiian slack key, Makana continues evolving the tradition. He is known for exploring the creative possibilities of a single guitar, and extracting a fullness of sound commonly equated with full orchestration. Even though Makana weaves a symphonic experience, he plays nothing but one guitar on each track. This master works collection is his first entirely instrumental release – no vocals – just Makana playing the guitar.
