Larry Rivera at Paradise Garden Grille in Koloa

Larry Rivera is a legend in Kauai and has won 7 lifetime achievement awards. He's written over 100 songs and performed at the Coco Palms in its hay day. He was friendly the moment we walked into the bar area and quickly shared that he turned 87 on September 14th. We really enjoyed his show and his stories, hearing about his friendship with Elvis, his writing of songs starting at 14 years old, and seeing his beautiful spirit light up the stage.
