Bill Tapia - Live at the Warner Grand
The Centennial Birthday ConcertIn November 2007 Paniolo Productions produced the official Mainland Show & Celebration for Bill Tapia's 100th Birthday which was held at the Warner Grand Theatre in San Pedro, CA. Joining him onstage was Earl Allen, Frank DeVito, Kristin Korb, Abe Lagrimas Jr., and other special guests such as King Kukulele, Smokin' Menehunes, Polynesian Paradise Dancers, Jim "Kimo" West and many others. We had hundreds of Bill's fans under the same roof to celebrate this unforgettable occasion!! It was truly amazing!
To this day it remains one of our biggest accomplishments. Now, we are raising money to release it on CD before Bill turns 103!
We have launched a fundraising campaign on Kickstarter.com and are offering a lot of cool stuff to give you in return for your donation, including Bill Tapia stickers, T-shirts, and posters and invitation to a private luau, and even a Bill Tapia model ukulele hand crafted by master luthier Lymana Ashikawa (valued at $5,000)! The CD itself will include stunning photography by Tim Brendan and Gary Leonard, bonus video and the artwork is going to be done by artist Robert Armstrong! You can also just simply pre-order the CD if you would like!
