• He’s got his new single coming out there. So, the video comes out as well.
• His show is up to about 90 minutes now. He’s going to a lot of music between now and then, and I can’t imagine how meaningful they are to him.
• When he started out earlier, performing was very emotional for him, and he’s, just, it’s effortless.
• He’s at a different level as he’s going to play the Blaisdell on the Dec. 9 on Dec. 12 and 13 on the island of Maui.

• We’re going to give some of the proceeds from the Honolulu and both Maui shows to relief efforts.
