Keola Beamer was raised on Hawai‘i Island, born into one of Hawai‘i's most illustrious and beloved musical families. He established himself early as the family's youngest standard-bearer. A child of the rock 'n' roll era, he was at the vanguard of Hawaiian contemporary sound. Yet he also helped drive what became the Hawaiian Cultural Renaissance, recording many songs written by his ancestors, including his legendary great- grandmother Helen Desha Beamer and his mother Nona Beamer. Keola studied classical guitar, and went on to publish a slack key method book using a 16th-century lute tablature system as his starting point. He was one of Hawai'i's first recording artists to integrate Hawaiian chants and instruments, like the tiny gourd whistle and nose flute, into contemporary forms of music. Keola has recorded and produced more than a dozen albums, has won numerous Na Hoku Awards, Hawai'i's Grammy, appeared on Sesame Street and NBC’s “Today Show”, and was inducted into the Hawaiian Music Hall of Fame. He is celebrated by fellow musicians:

“He’s an exceptional musician. He’ll bring the spirit of the island to the concert.”—Paul Simon
“There’s no better slack key player than Beamer.”—Willie Nelson

A Grammy- nominated singer/songwriter, he has taken home 21 Na Hoku Hanohano Awards (Hawaii's Grammy) including Male Vocalist of the Year, Song of the Year, Single of the Year, and Album of the Year, and in 2021, Henry was honored by his peers with the Na Hoku Award for Contemporary Album, and by the public vote with the Award for Favorite Entertainer, and honored yet again in 2022. He is also the author of the award winning children's book, "A Beautiful Hawaiian Day," has appeared in the films, and has made many television appearances. Henry soared to the forefront of Hawaiian music in the 1970s with the duo Cecilio & Kapono, the first Hawai‘i group to achieve a national recording contract (Columbia Records); together they recorded 13 albums, giving contemporary and folk rock a new perspective. Always musically adventurous, Henry launched a solo career in 1981. Henry touches the soul with the simple honesty of his lyrics and music, and the gift of an evocative, plaintive balladeer's voice that haunts you long after he leaves the stage. In 2017 the legacy of Henry’s music was featured in the Grammy Museum (Los Angeles) and most recently, he launched the Henry Kapono Foundation to support Hawai‘i’s Music and the Arts.
