Maui’s entertainment scene has Rhythm & Views spinning like a Tilt-a-Whirl.
Fleetwood Mac’s grand-master, Mick Fleetwood, is finalizing plans to open a restaurant in Lahaina; local legend Vince Esquire is featured playing guitar on Gregg Allman’s new solo album; the concerts at the Maui Arts & Cultural Center are going strong; and clubs like Stella Blues Cafe keep bringing in quality shows. To top it off, filmmaker Brian Kohne is screening his Maui-made movie “Get a Job” all weekend at the Iao Theater in Wailuku.
How do I share all that information with my dedicated readers and enjoy the events at the same time? Let’s give it a go: Fleetwood told R&V in October that he was planning on spending most of 2011 home, on Maui, working on his art and pursuing his dream of opening a restaurant. He said he envisioned a place where he could hang out, play live music and welcome other island musicians. Fleetwood’s vision will soon be a reality; there is no official launch date available, but word has it that, very soon, the former Oyster Bar on Front Street will be re-christened a Fleetwood restaurant. How lucky are we to have such legendary musicians as locals?
