KSSK Radio will stage a Mother’s Day Morning Show, at 9 a.m. Saturday (May 10) at Blue Note Hawaii at the Outrigger Waikiki resort.
The Perry & The Posse event will feature Jasmine Trias, who placed third in the third season of “American Idol” back in 2004. Trias, who was a marquee star during her campaign to the top, is making her Blue Note debut.
The breakfast show, hosted by Michael W. Perry, will mix radio chit-chat with music and comedy, with in-attendance mothers celebrating Mother’s Day one day earlier (May 11) in the spotlight, too.
The program will air live on KSSK FM and AM with a roster of guest artists, including Henry Kapono, the Hawaiian Style Band with core members Bryan Kessler, Wade Cambern, and Robi Kahakalau, comedian Andy Bumatai, Irie Love, Mindy Smokestack and Ryan Hooley.
Trias, a 17-year-old Maryknoll High School senior while seeking the “Idol” trophy, was both an early favorite and then a dubious contender, seesawing through the weekly competition. She was Hawaii’s sweetheart for much of her tenure, with island fans watching religiously and casting votes for Trias as she weathered her rise and fall, from top of the bunch to the cellar, in a mix of exhilaration and depression.
You’d recognize Trias for the plumeria blossom regularly tucked behind her right ear; it was her on-air trademark.
“I’m trying to make it fun here on out,” she told me in an interview as the tension was building.
As it finally turned out, Trias was third, Diana DeGardo was second, and Fantasia Barrino finished first. And curiously, this was the year that Jennifer Hudson was a competitor and placed 7th–but is the only Idol wannabe to join the elitist EGOT honoree. Hmmmm….

Andy, Augie salute moms, too
Woooo hoooo, comics Andy Bumatai and Augie T will be back at Blue Note Hawaii at the Outrigger Waikiki resort.
One missing ingredient: Frank DeLima, who relocated to Las Vegas. Actually, he would have been a solo attraction, if he still lived here.
Not to worry, though, Andy and Augie are combining their bag of gags to make moms laugh at a Mother’s Day event at 1 p.m. Mother’s Day (May 11).
Visitors who don’t “speak” pidgin might not understand the lingo, but not to worry again: the comics may haves good-natured fun with visitors…
