James McCarthy enthusiastically returns to HiSAM for First Friday on September 6, 2013, playing songs from his solo release Nows the new Later. Ranging from the stunning Civil War ballad Fields of Pennsylvania to Wild Wind (recently filmed for Hawaii 5-0) and the comic meanderings of Bug Wrangler, James is sure to provide a memorable evening of music in the classic setting of the Museum.

The musician/raconteur will be joined by nationally known singer songwriter Louise Taylor and cofounder of Hawaii School of Voice. Also on the bill for September's performance is his most recent musical collaboration thistlekiss featuring the vocals of Serena Hashimoto. Need more McCarthy music in your life? James is the founder and producer of Truetone Songwriters Series, presenting live original music every Tuesday at Downbeat Lounge.

August's First Friday welcomed Dayton Watanabe, who demonstrated his mastery of the acoustic guitar by taking requests from the very attentive guests and delivering on each request! Many stayed the entire night soaking in the sweet music produced by Dayton and his guitar. The galleries were abuzz with patrons viewing the newly refurbished West Gallery and getting a last glimpse of accession 2012 which closed the next day.

The Hawai‘i State Foundation on Culture and the Arts and the Hawai‘i State Art Museum send a big mahalo to Dayton for a wonderful, relaxing evening!

The galleries of HiSAM will be open during your visit.

Galleries are open from 6 to 8:45 p.m. on First Friday. As the museum's supply of chairs are limited, low folding chairs and mats are recommended at the second floor open courtyard, which overlooks the newly opened Sculpture Garden. Don't miss this special treat
