JAZZ with JOHNNY VALENTINE

Waikiki comes to Kona! Dance the night away to the magical Jazz stylings of Johnny Valentine. For one night only, Gertrudes Jazz Bar brings the most sought after musician in Waikiki to the heart of Kona to showcase his hidden love for Jazz.

Raised in the beautiful island state of Hawaii, John Valentine has spent most of his life entertaining in the heart of Waikiki, eventually becoming one of the most sought after live musicians in the islands.

John began his music career sharing the spotlight with high school friend Pat Miguel. The duo, known as Night Splendor, immediately found itself with a large and faithful following in the Waikiki circuit. They eventually joined the Dick Jensen Show performing their favorite impersonations.

John and Pat went on to perform with the Love Notes, an oldies review that was a huge favorite among the locals and tourists alike. With Johns vocal talent and musical direction, the Lovenotes became one of the islands greatest sensations, taking time away from home to tour the Midwest and Tokyo Japan. While in Japan, John began to train and mentor his sisters son Peter (Bruno Mars) to dance and sing like Elvis.

Enjoy Hawaii's top entertainer for one night only at Gertrude's Jazz Bar.
