The band is lead by patriarch impresario EDWARD KAWA from Edmonton, who is self taught on the accordion over 55 years ago.  Ed is joined by his eldest son ANDY KAWA, a fellow Edmontonian, who plays the saxophone, bass guitar and sings a mean Elvis.  Second son, RICK KAWA, hailing from Lethbridge, Alberta, keeps the beat on the drums with his comedic style, while Ed’s special “Peach”, his daughter EVON OLSEN, from Vancouver, British Columbia, entertains on the keyboards and provides melodious and harmonious vocals.  Rounding out the family group is Ed’s grandson, AUSTIN KAWA on the accordion and vocals, a child phenom, a two time Happy Hans winner in 2005 & 2006, who has also produced 2 CD’s.

The Kawa’s are very excited to have the opportunity to entertain you at the KIOTAC Festival Tuesday evening dance.  Their music will delight everyone as they play a variety of music from old time, country to 50’s Rock n’ Roll.  Plan to get to the Kimberley Arena early as the Kawa’s will fill the building with incredible music and abundant energy.  Everyone will leave with a smile.
