Aloha International Steel Guitar Festival 2025

[Bill Wynne]

Oh, yes! We're still here! Now in its 51st year, Aloha International still hosts a steel guitar festival in Winchester, IN every last week of July. The festival begins next week and runs July 24th through July 26th. And there are still rooms at the fairly newly remodeled Randolph Inn and Suites.

And I failed to mention that this year's guest steel guitarist is Hawai`i's own Paul Kim. Alan Akaka will also make an appearance as will Bobby Ingano protege Joseph Zayac. AISGC president Mark Prucha will honor us with a few tunes, as will this forum's own Gerald Ross (or so I hear).
