Ka`au Crater Boys
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kaʻau Crater Boys were a Hawaiian Contemporary musical duo comprised of Ernie Cruz, Jr. (vocals, guitar, bass) and Troy Fernandez (ʻukulele, vocals). They recorded and released four popular Hawaiian Contemporary albums:
- Tropical Hawaiian Day(1991)
- Valley Style (1993)
- On Fire (1995)
- Making Waves (1996)
Their work garnered them three Nā Hōkū Hanohano awards, (Nā Hōkū Hanohano means "The Distinguished/Glorious Stars", Hawaii's version of the Grammy Awards) from The Hawaii Academy of Recording Artists.
The name Kaʻau Crater Boys refers to Kaʻau Crater, an extinct volcano above the Palolo Valley of Oʻahu, near to the Palolo housing community in which Cruz and Fernandez were raised.
