Kaleo Wheeler is a gifted storyteller through song and dance. Her music is Positive music. Through stories that she shares, combined with her rich and warm voice, Kaleo escorts the listener on a musical odyssey whose soothing yet powerful message is one of love and peace through living in gratitude, forgiveness and blessing. Her stories help you to remember your own stories and remind you of your personal sense of purpose and value. They also remind you of the interconnectedness of life - that we are all one family, one people - no matter what country, culture or background we originate from - and that we are all looking for the same thing - to be loved. Kaleo's music covers a range of different song styles, including World Music, from the 25+ years as a professional vocal artist. It includes contemporary pop; standards of the 40's, 50's, 60's & 70's; musical theatre; and Celtic music accompanied by a small harp. She shares songs from the past that we may have long forgotten to modern songs that are very familiar to us; each reflecting important messages and insights that can help us to better deal with the stresses and challenges of today. She has traveled extensively to Hawai'i and has studied traditional hula and chant with several Kumu Hula (traditional hula and chant teachers) both in Hawai'i and on the mainland. The dances in her concerts are the ancient Hawiaian art of storytelling - through traditional hula, which is also called the Dance of the Heart. Her healing concerts create an atmosphere in which the audience will feel uplifted and transported by the music and be able to participate in an evening of music and song, stories and laughter, and sometimes poignant memories - creating a deeper sense of community for everyone there. Her storytelling will captivate and engage you, inviting you to become an integral part of the entire experience. Don't miss a delightful evening of story, song, dance and community, and the opportunity to experience this talented musician and storyteller in a live, intimate setting, creating a dynamic and enriching experience for each person there. Kaleo is also an artist with the GINA for Missing Persons Foundation, a group of musical artists who help bring attention and media awareness to missing persons world-wide. Each concert is dedicated to finding one specific missing person in the local area where the concert is being held. To date, GINA has found close to 450 people.

In a nutshell, it is exactly what the name implies - a concert in someone's home. Distractions like televisions, pool tables, and loud conversations make it difficult for both the artist and the audience to connect in a club. House Concerts are informal and relaxed, and the whole idea for everyone attending is to have a good time. It is the perfect combination of great music with great friends in a comfortable, intimate setting, enjoying live music - and without the two drink minimum or the smoke-filled atmosphere that is still sometimes found in a club. As the artist, Kaleo Wheeler is a singer with a range of different song styles, a performer and storyteller with more than 25 years of professional experience. Her concerts are fun, exciting, different and uplifting. Her music is called Positive and World music. The format she uses is what the Hawaiians call "Talk Story" - informal and interactive dialogue and group participation through music and song, stories and laughter, and sometimes poignant memories - creating a deeper sense of community and a dynamic and personally enriching experience for each person there. People return home with feelings of hope and inspiration and new ways of looking at and designing their lives. When sharing a song, she might use a small harp to accompany it or instrumental tracks on a CD. She has an extensive background in the Hawaiian tradition and also sometimes shares a traditional Hawaiian hula. Everyone present might be encouraged to get up and move or learn a little bit of hula. For many, it takes them back to a pleasant memory of when they visited Hawai'i. The beauty of this graceful and flowing dance is that there is no right or wrong way to do it - the movements are simple for each person to enjoy in their own way and have fun with. All of her music contains a unique and inovative vision. Listen to uplifting and peaceful songs from the past that are often lost as well as modern songs that all reflect important messages and insights, helping us to remember our own stories and our own personal sense of purpose and value in the world and how we came to where we are in life. In doing so, it can help us to better deal with the stresses and anxieties of day-to-day challenges and the uncertainties that surround us in the world today, and to remember that we are all One Family, no matter our differences. Kaleo loves sharing her music and songs through these House Concerts; because in this intimate setting, she can connect more intimately with each one; and through your interaction together, a deeper sense of relationship and community is created. Sound like fun? Don't miss the opportunity to have a delightful and transforming evening of song, story and community in this intimate, live setting right in your own home with your friends and family.
