Dayan’s outstanding voice will be accompanied by finger style and slide guitar, harmonica, and the Yamaha grand piano.
Dayan (“DAY-uhn”) Kai is a true force of musical nature. An artist whose abilities and style know few bounds, Dayan is known for his soulful voice, powerful songwriting, and multi-instrumental prowess. “Dayan is perhaps one of the most complete and talented musicians . . . not only is he a dazzling multi-instrumentalist, but also a soulful vocalist with a stratospheric range and a poignant songwriter who knows how to heal with his compositions.”
Born on the island of Maui, Kai grew up between Hawaii and California. His extensive musical adventures have taken him across the country and the world. He has played on the main stage of numerous musical festivals in the US, Canada and Australia including the High Sierra Music Festival, the Kate Wolf Festival, the Sisters Folk Festival, the Blue Mountains Music Festival, and the Strawberry Music Festival.
