Danny Knapp – Ukulele, Ipu Heke Drum

Published January 1, 2010 at 12:00 am

Danny Knapp is a diverse musician that has been performing professionally since he was 16 years old. From touring with rock bands in the late 80′s to a stint as the bass player for Feedbags with Scotty Johnson (later of Gin Blossoms), Danny has performed everything from hard rock to reggae, alt-country to industrial, and many other styles in between. Currently, Danny plays bass and ukulele for Mikioi, a Hawaiian reggae band receiving a lot of Polynesian radio attention for their single, “Hawaii, My Home”. He also performs with several local halau (hula dance troupes), including Kaimikahu Hale ‘O Hula, Halau Holomua I Ka Po’okela Me Ka’ikepono, and Akana ‘Ohana Hula Halau. Danny is also working on his first independent Hawaiian reggae release, Makai, as well as squeezing in the occasional show with his acoustic rock trio, Ukuholics Anonymous.
