One of Hawaii’s best known musical clans, the Beamers trace their roots back to the 15th century. His family is the primary influence for his music and he consciously seeks to maintain its legacy. Hawaiian society has always placed a high value on sound, which has led to a strong com mitment to preserving tradition al musical forms and an equal ly powerful interest in the music of other cultures. Reflecting this duality, Beamer has crafted his style with elements of the an cient and the modern, the in digenous and the introduced. On the one hand, he actively champions Hawaiian forms that predate contact with Euro peans. On the other hand, he is one of the first slack key mas ters to experiment with elec tronic effects, multi-track recording, complex chord pro gressions, and even innovative guitar construction. Tickets are $20 and are available at the University Box Office at 503-352-2918 or through Safeway Fastixx at 503-224-8499.
