Pupu St Blues House Demo

LL Cool J "Going Back To Cali"

I like to wake up and record the first song of the morning. Garage band no Mic. Cup in a half. If you dig then lets jam and make it the jam... The city lights is of Honolulu the song is to my love living in Tokyo City.
"its just so far from the beach"

Tokyo City.

This a beautiful song, although sung in English its all Hawaiian. 
Its part of my first song in the morning recordings, either garage band iPad style or a cell phone. (sad face), Hey my Dj peeps lets do something? If you like this song look up the original "Waimanalo Blues" you'll love it!

Nanakuli blues

I've been so addicted to learning singing and playing this song, probably not the right way but who cares!! Learn it on your own instrument and have some fun. My usual one recording take with the I pad and garage band.

John Cougar Mellencamp - Jackie O

I love Surfing, Music, and Sumo Wrestling. 

Israel Kamakawiwo'ole - Gentle Giants

The Matthew Summertime experiment was in full effect. I threw it out there on Craig's list and who shows up? my good buddy Abe, who I haven't played with for about a year. Abe and I play on the very first tract post called "Pupu St." but we never played together practiced jammed for almost a year. Some weird pauses and many mistakes but so much fun!!! Hope you enjoy it. If you're ever in Honolulu Hawaii go to Ong King its in China town Sunday night open Mic. I guarantee you'll have an experience!!

A Jam session we use to have in this surf shop in Waikiki Hawaii after hours. my friends on the electric guitar and the other is on a shaker that looks like a mango. I'm on the ukulele and singing a song I wrote called "My Street"

Surf shop sessions lost achive

Matthew Summertime travels between Hawaii and Tokyo playing ukulele island style rhythms mostly originals with some alternative covers. 
In search of writing the ultimate love song or to make the sound of the butterfly hopefully simultaneously! But my soundcloud is really just a cry for help...anyone out there? high in the clouds, wanna help me get my songs recorded better than on a cell phone, in a bedroom, or non-member garage band with no mic.if you like my lyrics and sound then let's spread it around. Let's get in touch, or just hit that share button and pass  it on.
