Mulligans On The Blue
AG Presents is excited to bring the Aloha Music Series to Mulligans On The Blue with Maui’s Ukulele Virtuoso Andrew & Jay Molina on Wednesday, December 4th. For this special evening, Andrew and Jay welcome founding members of Pure Heart, Jon Yamasato and Lopaka Colon! Experience one of Hawaii‘s great ukulele-fronted duos, (father + son) Andrew and Jay Molina, as they share songs, stories, and laughter while taking you on a musical journey throughout the “World of Ukulele”. We are thrilled to have Jon and Lopaka join us, as their group Pure Heart with Jake Shimabukuru inspired generations of ukulele players including Andrew Molina!
ABOUT PUR HEART: Back in 1999, three young guys in their early 20’s burst into the Hawaiian music scene as the group, Pure Heart. The group consisted of ʻukulele musician Jake Shimabukuro, acoustic guitar/vocalist Jon Yamasato and percussionist Lopaka Colon, Jr.. and is rated in the top-50 Musical Groups of All Times of Hawaii, and also one of Hawaii’s youngest musical groups ever to take the local music scene by storm in such a short period. That same year, the group won five Nā Hōkū Hanohano Awards including “Album of the Year.” Pure Heart has three albums titled Pure Heart, Pure Heart 2, and Pure Heart 2.5 Christmas, as well as a new digital album titled Best of Pure Heart. Despite being extremely popular, Pure Heart disbanded a few years later. But things happen for a reason and Jake Shimabukuro would become one of the world’s renowned ‘ukulele artists, Lopaka Colon, Jr., would go on to play with Hawaii’s top musicians, and Jon Yamasato, who returned to music three months after quitting Pure Heart in 1999 to release his first solo album, and has performed with numerous groups.
