Ewing resident sings ‘Hula’
The Trentonian (NJ)
Wynne, a Philadelphia-born Hawaii music expert now living in Ewing Township, headed off to the islands this weekend in a hunt for a record contract singing music he doesn’t even know how to speak.
The 25-year-old, who is not of Hawaiian descent, learned almost everything he knows about Hawaiian music by collecting and studying standard folk tunes.
He’s amassed more than 2,000 LPs, 78s and original reels of Hawaiian music and has been obsessed with the art ever since its sweet sounds hit his ears.
Wynne was invited by the Aloha Festival to compete in two Hawaiian falsetto singing contests this weekend on the big island and as a guest steel guitarist in the Aloha Festivals Steel Guitar Week at the Halekulani Hotel on Waikiki Beach Thursday.
