Danny Couch presents....

Here's a snippet that was recently released in one of the local papers. Still looking to see if anyone locally did a review on Danny Couch's production. Reading the lineup of musicians and dancers is impressive indeed. I'm sure it's a real cool show. Will make it a point to catch Danny's show and will give a first hand report. Cool stuff!!! This is definitely something that is needed in this cool tropical island.

Danny Couch's new Waikiki show debuts tonight

News Release

Vocalist Danny Couch opens his first self-produced show at 7:30 tonight at the Sheraton Princess Kaiulani Hotel. "Danny Couch: The Voice of These Islands" is a musical journey of Hawaiian, contemporary and classic songs.
"I just felt the time was right to go on my own after a career of working for others," said Couch. "I am truly grateful to everyone I've worked with over the years. I have learned so much and feel very blessed for all they've shared with me, and so thankful to all of my fans who have followed me wherever I've been. I look forward to seeing them at the Ainahau Showroom!"

The Na Hoku Hanohano Award-winning Couch has come a long way since singing in the choir at Nanakuli High School, and even as a standout with the Alii's where he sang lead for hits like "Lady You're My Rainbow" and "Here I Am." He has performed around the world and in long-running shows in Waikiki to rave reviews, and is the man behind one of Hawai'i's "anthems" — "These Islands." Couch also has his own record label and production company.
