Barefoot Natives
2007 Na Hoku Hanohano Award winners...The logo they use (according to Eric) is the foot of Eric's sister Amy! We're talking about Eric Gilliom and Willie K! They are two of the most talented musicians that have gotten together to put out an awesome release; one that will put them on the radar for next year's Na Hoku Hanohano Awards called "Barefoot Natives".
Eric Gilliom is an excellent vocalist and has not only hawaiian ties but hollywood ties as well. As an accomplished musician and writer/comedian, Eric has carried himself thru the entertainment world with excellence, but with a confidence and humility that goes with his family line.

Willie K. is a master musician that comes from the island of Maui and has entertained audiences since the age of 10. "The Honolulu Weekly" said that "Willie can mimic seemingly any style (of music), moving easily between screaming Stratocaster, sweet slack key and jazzy almost baroque, acoustic 12-string."

Together, Eric and Willie "form an equally poignant and hilarious musical duo, blending music, culture and humor in an act often called "Indescribable" (Kathy Collins, KEAO Radio). "No 2 musicians can pull of what these two can do together, making you laugh, cry and miss the islands even though you live here. What an exquisite pair of fine and talented musicians that truly make entertaining and thought provoking music! (Billy V, KCCN FM 100 Radio)"  Barefoot Natives makes a strong statement in the Hawaiian music genre with a fabulous release!

Their latest CD entitled "Slack Key Circus" is in stores now!
