Guest: Brittni Paiva Hosts: Stuart Yoshida, Doug Brown Hey, Internet, we’re back! And we have a GREAT show for you with the amazing Brittni Paiva, Hawaii homegrown ukulele performer, producer, and songwriter who has shared the stage with Santana and Tommy Immanuel, and she’s just getting started! She shares her humble roots growing up in the small town of Hilo, and she surprised us years ago with an unexpected rendition of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow,” and it’s probably not what you think. So sit tight, and join us on... the OokTown Podcast.
