Kai Kalama at Estancia La Jolla Hotel and Spa
May 20
Kai Kalama has been singing and performing since the age of 6. He then played guitar and sang with his brother, who he has maintained a duo with since he was 12 years old. He was featured as one of the 36 semi-finalists on Season 8 of American Idol, and was also a winning contestant on the NBC summer game show The Winner Is in 2013. He brings to the stage a one-man show, with a large range of musical styles, from Hawaiian to hip-hop. Kalama has been further developing his rich, soulful voice. He is mastering the art of “live looping” with his use of a loop pedal to create the sound of an entire band. His beach-flavored covers are well suited for Estancia’s shoreline vibe.
Audio Perdisco at the Belly Up Tavern
May 21
Oceanside rockers Audio Perdisco features guitar icon Enrique Sotelo, who is gaining a reputation as one of the hottest guitarists in San Diego, drawing comparisons to the Fallbrook Kid, Anthony Cullins.
