Kealakekua Bay is located on the Kona coast of the island of Hawaii and is the subject matter for this latest single from one of the finest acoustic guitarists of his day in Johannes Linstead.

Johannes has depicted this idyllic part of the globe perfectly, the smooth Hawaiian mood, the soft pastiche of another glorious day, and from the tone and timbre of the composition one can also smell the salt in the air, and the gentle sea breeze blowing across the avenues of your mind.

This multi-instrumental delight is the perfect style for a long hot summer on the beach; if you can’t chill out to music like this then you are missing out on a musical opportunity of sheer bliss, unadulterated calm and pure serenity!

Johannes Linstead has been on my musical radar since 2004, ever since he released an album based on my location called Mediterranea, but here is the artist now some 19 years later embracing the singles culture with an absolute flourish, Kealakekua Bay by Johannes Linstead is destined to be a huge summer hit with the ease of an August sunrise, so pass me another cocktail, and press play one more time, this is pure heaven.
