"The Voice of These Islands" Danny's New Show In Waikiki~

On June 18th I was honored with being a guest at Danny's new show which is being held at the historic, Princess Kaiulani Hotel 120 Kaiulani Ave. Central Waikiki Next door to the International Marketplace, across the street from the landmark and refurbished Moana Surfrider Hotel
(The First Lady of Waikiki is Re-branded as the Moana Surfrider, A Westin Resort) and Waikiki Beach.

From the moment Danny took the stage and raised his microphone.. his voice memorized his audience, as it has for so many years in the past. His voice raised in song bringing smiles and memories to those who lingered to hear more.. songs requested by those listening once again, to his magnificent voice, those who have been deprived of seeing him perform onstage for several years. Me for one! We've missed you Danny!
Seeing and hearing Danny once again was as if being included in a tight knit circle of ohana, truly a treat to savor. On this night Danny performed to many long time fans and special friends. Getting to meet many of them was an added treat. Danny personalizes his new show even more than in the past by asking for special requests from his listeners. For those temporarily awoken enough from their trance to request their favorites this particular night he added "A trip down Memory Lane", with his singing of songs from his "Then and Now" cd including, Waikiki, Kalua; Combined Medley with "To Where You Are", Brown Eyes, Lady You're My Rainbow, Music of the Night, plus features from his "I Love Hawaii. The Journey" Cd, those being, Hawaii My Paradise, Flying, From My Heart (Hoku winning song which was written by Danny at age 12) and The Hawaiian Wedding Song sung with Cathy Foy (renown performer, celebrity who was visiting). Also he featured songs from his newest release, "Danny Couch Sings The Great American Classics" with excerpts from "Mona Lisa", Quando Quando and ending the evening with "People" There's nothing better than listening to Danny sing Love Songs, except of course to see him sing them live! He did so this night to rave Hana Hous.
AND adding to the intrigue of a performance never to be forgotten, several of the highlights and standing ovations went out during his performances of his signatures songs I Love Hawaii, and THESE ISLANDS (of course). Tears flowed during this and many of Danny's songs kindling up memories of past attendances and fond times always cherished.
In addition the back up band was an added plus to Danny's vocals, getting to rub elbows with long time friend Bobby King (from the Ali'is) playing bass and adding vocals brought back fond memories and rousted the listeners with his expertise and those of the other members of the band.. Danny's Conga drum solo was a celebration of his percussion expertise. His drumming history has always been put to the background, in my opinion he needs to incorporate even more of this feature. It was dynamic! The dancers... wow dressed in exotic and sexy hula attire, these girls/women are the best! Their compliment to Danny's performances was exemplary, and extremely attractive. Every man in the audience went away smiling, for good reason. Their show alone was worth the ticket. Not only were they good dancers, they are award winning dancers and beautiful to boot!
Mr. Couch your show is truly a hit. You have invested your blood sweat and tears into a production that wows your audience. This will prove to be the best show in Waikiki, if not already so. I recommend to everyone I know who is headed to Waikiki to come see your show. I now know personally that it's the best recommendation I can possibly make.
Your performances still make me tremble with anticipation, You are the best performer not only in Hawaii but of all I have personally seen. The feeling you put into your performances are a work of art, your voice back stronger and more in-depth than ever... It only proves that your heart and soul (and voice) continues to get better! God Bless your Voice! ~ "The Voice of These Islands" and Everywhere.

Mahalo nui loa Danny ~ Always Aloha, Lea
