S

ince 1979, The Nylons have performed over 1,000 concerts in dozens of tours worldwide, including Japan, Korea, China, Australia, Europe, Brazil, the United States and Canada.

Aside from a small private function on the Big Island years ago, however, the Toronto-based a cappella group has never sang for Hawaii. And founder Claude Morrison says the Big Island performance doesn’t count.

“This will be our Hawaiian debut,” he said of the pair of shows this weekend at Kauai Community College’s Performing Arts Center in Lihue.

The Nylons perform Saturday and Sunday as a joint fundraiser for Kauai Humane Society and the Kauai Concert Association.

“It sounds like a special performance,” Morrison said by phone from Toronto. “I’m an animal guy, especially dogs. So I’m more than happy to lend my energy to that.”

The Nylons are best known for their covers of pop songs such as The Turtles’ “Happy Together,” Steam’s “Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye,” and The Tokens’ version of the traditional “The Lion Sleeps Tonight,” according to KCA’s website.

The band’s current lineup includes Morrison (tenor), Garth Mosbaugh (tenor), Gavin Hope (baritone) and Tyrone Gabriel (bass). Morrison is the only original member still with the band today.

“The Nylons are renowned for their vibrant live shows, featuring dazzling harmonies, smooth arrangements, tight choreography, and fabulous showmanship,” states their website.

Morrison said his group’s first performance occurred on a “cold, dark February night” in Toronto in 1979, with maybe a dozen people in attendance. After finishing the few songs they had in their repertoire at the time, the “crowd” insisted they start the set over.

The rest is history.

And this month, CHRIS D’ANGELO The Nylons are TGIFR!DAY celebrating 35 years.

“Some things take on a life of their own,” Morrison said. “And this was one of them.”

For Morrison, it has been, and still is, a great ride — one that has allowed him to do what he enjoys and travel the world.

When asked what Kauai fans can expect this weekend, Morrison said, “The short answer is a good time.”

“There’s lots of laughs,” he said. “We poke fun at each other, at the audience, but the music is very tight. No two shows are ever exactly the same.”

The Nylons are always open to audience requests.

Among the most interesting for Morrison over the years have been Led Zeppelin’s “Stairway to Heaven” and Freddie Mercury’s “Bohemian Rhapsody.”

“Give the people what they want,” Morrison said. “We say, ‘Hey, this is your show. You tell us what you want to hear.’”

While it will be his first performance on Kauai, Morrison vacationed on Kauai for a week about 30 years ago.

“I’m glad to be coming back,” he said.

The Nylons are celebrating their JUNO nomination for Best Jazz Vocal Album for their 15th release, “Skin Tight.” The CD features an collection of jazz standards, original songs and well-known classics.

With seven gold and platinum recordings, this four-member vocal group is one of Canada’s top international success stories.

The Nylons perform at 7 p.m. Saturday and 4 p.m. Sunday at the KCC Performing Arts Center.

Tickets cost $50 for adults, $25 for students.

To purchase tickets or for more information, call 245-SING or visit kauaiconcert.org.

TWO NIGHTS OF A CAPPELLA WITH THE NYLONS

VIVIANE GILBERT STEIN SPECIAL TO TGIFR!DAY

T

he motto at Kalaheo Steak & Ribs pretty much sums up the menu, as well as the owners’ positive outlook: “It’s all good.”

That’s what Ernie Kanekoa tells folks who ask for dining recommendations. “I tell them, it’s all edible. It’s all good.”

Everybody laughs when he says that, but he really means it. And a recent sampling of the menu at the historic steakhouse, reopened in January 2010

by Kanekoa and Caroline Frederiksen, indicates it’s not an empty promise.

The flavors are as hearty as the serving sizes, a combination of fancy and filling. Take the popular stuffed pork chop ($24). Sounds like down-home cooking, right? Well, this is a bone-in loin chop, filled with Pecorino cheese, olive oil and chili flakes, a delicious concoction that melts out of the thick, flavorful chop. It is served high on a generous serving of square-cut potato hash seasoned with bell peppers and well-drizzled with a Dijon brandy cream sauce, studded with the crunch of sea salt.

The result? Sophisticated but satisfying.

Just how they like to do it at Kalaheo Steak & Ribs: fine dining for folks who like their meat and potatoes.

Naturally, the celebrated parts of the menu are the prime rib, filet mignon and rib eye steak, a popular trio Frederiksen described as “phenomenal.”

But other offerings include fresh fish

IT’S ALL GOOD AT KALAHEO STEAK & RIBS

— as the menu explains, “whatever Ernie’s buddies catch” — and less expensive dishes, such as meatloaf and chicken, as well as vegetarian and gluten-free meals.

“We have something for everybody,” Kanekoa promised.

The couple, self-described “partners in life and partners in business,” and their chef adjust the menu every six months or so.

The rib eye ($32) certainly lived up to expectations. Beautifully marbled, it was tender and juicy.

The menu described it as “rubbed with chili flakes and brown sugar, fire grilled to perfection.” My 12-year-old son described it as “brain-meltingly delicious.”

In fact, he spent most of the meal crossing his eyes in delight at some new treat for the tastebuds. The ravings began over the pupus Frederiksen sent to our table.

The Papalani Poke was a spicy, wellbalanced blend of fresh ahi, papaya, avocado and red onion with red chili flakes and Salt Pond sea salt, molded into a tall, colorful mound and surrounded by fresh won ton chips.

The pan-fried calamari steak ($13) provided a creamy counterpoint: succulent inside and crunchy outside, crusted with panko and drenched in a garlic-lemon caper cream sauce so delicious, my dining partner was

the Gourmet Paniolo Burger ($16). The grilled-to-order ground round is piled high with applewood bacon, cheddar, grilled onions and jalapeno, along with thick slices of tomato and lettuce, and doused with KSR ailoi. To round out the “satisfying” column, it is served with wellseasoned waffle fries and several massive onion rings.

The man behind all the amazing flavor pairings is Rufino Ramos. “He’s self-taught but his cooking is Kalaheo Steak & Ribs’ owners Ernie Kanekoa and Caro- outstanding,” Kanekoa line Frederiksen stand beneath a wagon wheel shipped said. to Kauai from Texas by a fan of the steakhouse.

The young man approached them after they parted tempted to lick the plate.

That sort of behavior might not raise ways with their first chef. They gave too many eyebrows at KSR. The decor is Ramos a chance, all those years ago, rich yet not at all pretentious. The deep and haven’t looked back since.

“He’s been a blessing,” Kanekoa said. red linen tablecloths are covered with thick white butcher paper, perfect for “He has a gift of flavors.”

Ramos is just one among a hard-workcatching some of that hickory-cranberry sauce from the baby back ribs ($13 ing team of 14. “We all do everything,” Frederiksen said of the staff. “Everybody appetizer; $25 entree).

Another finger-licking favorite — of chips in,” from serving to cleaning and Kanekoa’s as well as many guests — is washing dishes.

That was apparent during our recent dinner. The service was exceptional, from the friendly hostess to the cheerful busboys who filled (and refilled, and refilled again) my thirsty son’s water glass. All of them, owners included, bustled around the dining room throughout the night, chatting with diners and checking at each table, then quickly bringing whatever was needed, regardless of whose job it might be.

Waitress Chantel Kai enthused that she “loves” working at KSR. “I have two jobs but I enjoy coming here,” she smiled.

“Without our staff, we’d be nothing,” Frederiksen said. “They all have aloha spirit.”

That sort of down-home whimsy is typical of what makes KSR so welcoming.

And more generous flourishes abound. For example, diners who order before 6 p.m. are treated to a complimentary serving of Molokai sweet bread pudding, sweetened with strawberry and Irish cream sauces. Little cowpokes who order off the coloringpage keiki menu (which is named after Frederiksen’s grandchildren) are given their very own KSR flying disc to take home.

Both owners bring impressive credentials in the food industry, off and on Kauai. That expertise must have

TGIFR!DAY | FEBRUARY 7, 2014 | 5

been critical in reopening KSR. A fixture in Kalaheo for more than 30 years, the restaurant had been closed for a few years and required an extensive renovation before reopening. “We put a lot into it,� Frederiksen stated firmly.

Instead of hiring a general contractor, Kanekoa and John Medeiros did the carpentry work in the old saloon, which was full of termites. “They gutted it and redid the whole thing, from top to bottom,�

Frederiksen said.

The results are impressive. Despite its plain exterior, Kalaheo Steak & Ribs boasts a cozy, authentically Western interior, crowded with paniolo mementoes like saddles donated by local families. The entry room is home to a 100-year-old pitchfork and an antique teapot.

There’s even a genuine wagon wheel, shipped from Texas by a fan of the steakhouse.

The rustic wooden walls throughout the long building that stair-steps up a length of Papalina are lined with enlarged photos from the old days of Kalaheo. Some of the blackand-white scenes of rodeos and ranching life are images from the Kauai Museum, while others were provided by residents.

And the authenticity goes deeper than decor. Many of the pieces are gifts from local families and friends. “This place belongs to the people of Kalaheo, and we’re just keeping it for them,� Frederiksen said emphatically.

The couple are effusively appreciative of the support they have gotten from locals. “Without their support, we wouldn’t be here,� Kanekoa said, as Frederiksen nodded.

They believe strongly in giving back, and supporting good causes such as the Stomp Out MS Walk.

KSR will host bunco games to raise awareness for the upcoming walk, and serve a special pasta dinner, with all proceeds going to the fundraising effort.

It’s all part of the circle of generosity.

“As you can see, we’ve been blessed,� Kanekoa said as Frederiksen nodded in agreement. “We’ve had our struggles through the years. Now it’s getting better ... more and more people are coming.�

That translates into a need for reservations, which are recommended for the restaurant, and required for the saloon on Thursdays and Sundays. “Between the locals and the snowbirds, we don’t have enough room,� Kanekoa said. “That’s a good problem to have,� Frederiksen added with a laugh.

Yep. Like they say, it’s all good.

Kalaheo Steak & Ribs, 4444 Papalina Road in Kalaheo, is open Tuesday through Sunday from 4-10 p.m. Happy hour is 4 to 7 p.m. Dinner is served from 5 to 9:30 p.m. For reservations, private parties or catering, call 332-4444. Info: http://kalaheosteakandribs.com

he signature drink at Kalaheo Steak & Ribs is the KSR Punch. Made from a blend of vodka and lemonade and flavored with either mango or strawberry, it is light but packs a wallop.

Served in a hurricane glass, garnished with the obligatory pineapple slice and cherry speared by a paper umbrella, it’s a cheerful drink whose power can sneak up on you. The KSR Punch is $5 during Happy Hour, which is from 4-7 p.m. in both the dining room and the saloon. Regular price is $7.50 until closing.

Sweet and refreshing, KSR Punch proved to be a perfect match for the hearty flavors of Kalaheo Steak & Ribs’ pupus and entrees.

Happy hour is from 4 to 7 p.m. at Kalaheo Steak & Ribs.

In addition to the saloon, which offers KSR Punch is the signature drink at Kalaheo Steak & Ribs. Jerry Balderson carved maitis, margaritas with fresh-squeezed limes the stoic paniolo standing watch. and other mixed drinks, there is a cantina serving drinks inside the restaurant.

VIVIANE GILBERT STEIN The dinner menu also offers a nice numSPECIAL TO TGIFR!DAY ber of dessert beverages, including ports, a

chocolate Godiva martini and Keoki coffee, as well as a fairly extensive wine list, ranging from $7 a glass to $65 a bottle.

The saloon, which has its own entrance along Papalina Road, is connected to the restaurant by a short flight of stairs. Flatscreen TVs line the walls of the long room, but the focal point is the stage in the corner, where Wailoa provides live Hawaiian music — and more — on Thursdays and Sundays from 7 to 10 p.m.

The band, made up of Charlie Iona, John Mahi, Dane Pabo and Brian Dabis, has been the house band for the past year and a half. Described as “live Hawaiian music,� the quartet provides a lively, unique blend of music from the 1950s, ‘60s, ‘70s and ‘80s, as well as Hawaiian and Spanish music, according to owners Ernie Kanekoa and Caroline Frederiksen.

Frederiksen reported that Wailoa never takes a break and sometimes plays until 11, stopping only when they are good-naturedly yanked off-stage. “It’s just taken off,� she said of the band’s popularity.

In fact, Wailoa provides such a draw that “it’s reservations only� in the saloon when they perform, Frederiksen said.

‘THE LEGO MOVIE,’ TINY TOYS, HUGE LAUGHS

oung and old fans alike know the joy of dumping a set of Legos on the floor and chucking that instruction manual.

After all, throwing a portion of a helicopter on an incomplete racecar could produce the ultimate hybrid.

In “The Lego Movie,” the toy brand’s first theatrical feature (there have been previous straight-to-DVD movies and also video games), audiences are encouraged to wave off routine.

Lego doesn’t need a 3-D animated flick with a $60 million budget to drive sales, but it should expect a spike after this uproarious yet touching tale hits theaters.

When average construction worker Emmet (voiced by an endearing Chris Pratt) accidentally falls into a pit at his worksite, he is met

by Wyldstyle (Elizabeth Banks), a sassy, Goth chick channeling Trinity in this “Matrix” for kids.

Wyldstyle believes Emmet is a “Special” master builder who can save Bricksburg from the evil President Business (played with charming bite by Will Farrell), who wants to douse the town with a Krazy Glue-like substance called kragle.

Unfortunately, Emmet is a reluctant hero, but not because he’s shy. He’s just never really had an original thought. He’s been more than happy to adhere to every rule, become overly excited about taco Tuesday and adore any song on the radio. (The addictive “Everything Is Awesome” pops up throughout.)

A lax-toned Morgan Freeman plays Vitruvius,

the almighty wizard who helps Emmet believe he’s more than just a mediocre block of plastic by encouraging him to trust his instincts.

Written and directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (“Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs”), “The Lego Movie” ranks high among other animated favorites about courageous toys, such as “Pinocchio” and “Toy Story.” Lord

and Miller nail the fuzzy “believe-in-yourself” message and score with a spoof-heavy, yet engaging plot.

Film editors David Burrows (“Happy Feet”) and Chris McKay (“Robot Chicken”) create stop-motion animation that’s perfectly paced so the story never lulls. The facial expressions of the mini-figures move as any other animated

characters would, but the Lego bodies remain robotic and true to real-life form.

However, it is fun to see how the animators conceive a wavy sea. (The film was made using an astounding 3,863,484 unique bricks.) The effects stretch the imagination just enough, but not so much as to deter from an all-toofamiliar Legoland setting.

Lord and Miller ensure that the laughs persist, as they focus on Legos’ ability to be the butt of the joke. Batman (Will Arnett), who plays a major supporting role, is a bit of a bully and when Emmet attempts to rally a band of familiar “good guys” with a speech highlighting his ordinariness, we see that Wonder Woman, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and even Milhouse from “The Simpsons” could care less. And by mingling the Lego world with “relics” like a Band-Aid, nail polish remover and a mostly eaten sucker (Vitruvius’ staff ), the mockery ensues.

The filmmakers could have easily made one long, monotonous ad for the beloved brand that’s been around for more than 55 years. Instead they’ve created a delightful tale championing self-reliance and distinctiveness. And though it detours from a strict brick world in the final act, the cheery humor always clicks.

“The Lego Movie,” a Warner Bros. release, is rated PG by the Motion Picture Association of America for “mild action and rude humor.”

Running time: 100 minutes. Three and a half stars out of four.

ALL THAT JAZZ

Matt Lemmler of The New Orleans Jazz Revival Band will headline the All Angels Jazz Fest.

T

ake a musical journey through the “History of Jazz” with a tribute to New Orleans this weekend at the 8th All Angels Jazz Festival.

“This has become one of the major celebrations of our church and one of the premiere music events in the state of Hawaii,” said Rev. Bill Miller, organizer and pastor of St. Michael and All Angels Episcopal Church. “Musicians tell us that there is nothing quite like it anywhere.

The spirit of aloha is present throughout every concert, performance and service.”

Friday and Saturday concerts and two free jazz masses Sunday are all at All Angels, 4364 Hardy Street, Lihue.

Part One of “A History of Jazz.” will be performed at 7 p.m. Friday, starting off with The Dean Taba Quartet featuring Andy Suzuki on sax, Nick Manson, pianist, and Oahu native Abe Lagrimas, Jr. Matt Lemmler’s New Orleans Jazz Revival Band headlines with fellow New Orleans musicians Jason Marsalis, a drummer and vibraphonist; Rex Gregory, sax and clarinetist; 10-year-old cellist Miles Lemmler; vocalist Kim Prevost; and Bill Solley on banjo and guitar.

“Matt is just a great guy and this is his second trip out here,” Miller said.

Lemmler, a member of the Grammy Board of Governors, is a pianist, composer and arranger who has led the Revival Band through several incarnations. He was living in Texas during postHurricane Katrina and performed at a church jazz fest that Miller had established before coming to Kauai The two met in New Orleans last summer.

The trip showed how miracles happen when

people show they care and need one another and God, said Miller. In New Orleans especially, it was the power of music that inspired people to come together.

“The rebirth, resurrection and revival of New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina is really a faith story,” Miller said. “It’s a story about service, sacrifice, New Orleans jazz artists Kim Prevost and spouse Bill Solley. community, love, and of course, music.”

“And the priest,” Miller added.

As the popularity of the event grows, Miller said it is still important to keep it at All Angels.

The intimate setting can expand by opening side doors and lanai space.

“We would rather have that intimate space than a performing arts center,” he said. “We get everyone in there somehow, or at least near enough to hear well.”

Tickets for the evening concerts are $35 in advance and $40 at the door. Advance tickets are available via PayPal or at the church office until Feb. 6, and the remaining tickets may be purchased at the door. Call 245-3796 or visit stmichaels-kauai.org.
