WEST HAWAII TODAY | BIG ISLAND ENTERTAINMENT SCENE FRIDAY, JANUARY 27, 2017 | 11 CONCERT: Duo has played at Aloha Theatre for almost 20 years ➠ Continued from page 3 and Alice Sessions” has been nominated for a 2017 Bluegrass Grammy Award. “I’m kind of shy, so I never imagined myself playing with someone as big as Hazel Dickens or Alice Gerrard,” said Lewis. “I have to say it’s a real highlight of my career.” Lewis and Rozum have played at Aloha Theatre for almost 20 years and are looking forward to bringing their music back to Hawaii Island for their annual “Aloha Tour.” Lewis is still in awe of her musical journey and humbly describes the experience of sharing the stage with some of her musical heroes. “I was kind of a late bloomer and never imagined I would be in a band before actually being in a band,” she said. “I never dreamed I would share the stage with Ralph Stanley of the Stanley Brothers. They just seemed like they were from another world and another time. I did end up touring with Ralph Stanley — playing fiddle with him and singing with him every night.” “For many years, this has been a must-attend event for many people on the island,” she said. “So if you haven’t seen us yet, maybe this is the year to do it and see what the fuss is all about.” Tickets are $25 general admission and can be purchased online at www.apachawaii.org or by calling 322-7384.
