The Acoustic Guitar Project in Honolulu

The Acoustic Guitar Project (TAGP) is presenting its second annual concert series showcase in Honolulu! What is TAGP? The short answer is… One Guitar… One week… One new song… Five Artists.

Five Musicians are selected each year to represent their city by writing an original song in only one week using their local TAGP guitar. They sign the guitar, upload their song to the website, and pass it on!

This year, the featured artists will be….
revealed shortly!!

Join us for an evening sure to inspire you as you feast your ears upon the diversity of styles, rhythms, and emotions evoked by the sharing of this guitar.

The intention of this event is to connect artists and inspire musicians from all backgrounds and levels of experience to continue (or start!) writing music. We invite you to open yourself to the idea of expressing one’s self creatively- WITHOUT JUDGEMENT or intense critique.

This event is ticketed and a portion of the proceeds will be going to TAGP to continue funding in Honolulu and other cities. As TAGP grows in Honolulu, we will be expanding our musical outreach in a myriad of ways with a focus on making music accessible and fun for keiki,youth, and budding musicians in our community. If you know of a group or organization that would benefit from an acoustic music performance/songwriting workshops, please share that information to Catherine Ritter (catherine.n.ritter@gmail.com), TAGP curator for Honolulu.

Lots of Aloha and see you there!

Murs Live

Nextdoor and the Got Rice? show are proud to announce MURS live at Nextdoor! Join us Sunday July 7th for a living legend of the Living Legends! Known for his work with Living Legends, Atmosphere and Tech N9ne Murs is one of the most prolific hip hop artists of our generation.

18+ show, doors open at 7pm with opening acts starting at 8pm.

For vip, group rates and bottle service specials please email us at Nextdoor808@gmail.com

More info: via Wikipedia

Murs formed 3 Melancholy Gypsys with fellow Alexander Hamilton High School classmates Scarub and Eligh. The group became friends with Mystik Journeymen, and joined them in the Living Legends collective in 1996. His solo debut album, F’Real, was released on Veritech in 1997.

Alongside Slug, Murs has been part of the group Felt since 2002. The End of the Beginning, his debut album on Definitive Jux, was released in 2003. Murs released Murs 3:16: The 9th Edition, an album entirely produced by 9th Wonder, in 2004. Taking a more thoughtful approach than gangster rappers, it prompted Andy Gill of The Independent to say “eschewing bogus glamour for emotional realism, Murs manages to say more about the corrosive cancer of hip-hop’s gun culture than all the thousands of column inches lavished on 50 Cent’s bullet wounds”. After another collaborative album with 9th Wonder, Murray’s Revenge, in 2006, Murs signed a contract with Warner Bros., his debut album for the label being Murs for President. It was preceded by Sweet Lord which was given away free to fans.

Murs released Varsity Blues 2, a follow-up to his Varsity Blues EP, with production duties handled by Aesop Rock, Terrace Martin and Droop-E, in 2011. He released This Generation, a collaborative album with Fashawn, in 2012.

Murs was invited by Sacha Jenkins, a hip hop journalist, to join the group The White Mandingos, a collaboration between Jenkins and Bad Brains bassist Daryl Jenifer. They released their first album, The Ghetto is Tryna Kill Me, on June 11, 2013 under the Fat Beats record label. Murs has stated that the recording is a loose concept album about a man from the hood who struggles to maintain his identity while recording as a rock artist. The band members have acknowledged that the album is partially based on their own experiences.

On February 7, 2014, it was announced via Tech N9ne’s Facebook page that Murs was signed to his record label Strange Music. Later that year, Murs teamed up with fellow Strange Music members Mayday! to drop the !Mursday¡ album as his first release on the label. He then released Have a Nice Life on May 18, 2015, Captain California on March 10, 2017, and A Strange Journey into the Unimaginable on his birthday in 2018 – all through Strange Music. In between projects, Murs partnered once again with 9th Wonder to create Brighter Daze, which was released on December 31, 2015.
