SB Reviews of Isle Holiday CDs w/ clips 1994
mc: `Ukuhame (Sam, Howard, Conrad Ahia) w/ clips "Soft-spoken guitarist/vocalist Sam Ahia grew from his roots in post-World War II Hawaii into a modern-day master of his instrument, bringing with him a style which defies categorization, harkens back to simpler times, and sets him apart from other musicians on the contemporary Hawaiian scene, in a category all his own. His voice is sweet as a tenor songbird’s on the breeze, and his instrumental stylings are intelligent, educated, passionate and deceptively mature in their simplicity and gracefulness, which all points to the reality that this artist is yet another one of Hawaii’s under-appreciated treasures." ~"Stevie Guitar" Sparks |

He had so many styles and different tunings. He was so adept at picking things up, but he never lost his own recognizable sound." ~ Barney Isaacs |
