LINER NOTES BY: KC & Eyvette-Leilani Moore
Exclusive Note By Fellow Musician: Gordon Freitas
After listening watching my fellow musician Eyvette-Leilani perform her Hawaiian songs at our shows;
I would say that she surely does show her love & passion for Hawaiian songs. She has much Aloha for
Music and is truly a long time experienced entertainer in Hawai’i nei. I’ve known her since the 90s;
While performing alongside her on the Star Of Honolulu ship.
