Hi-Town, short for Hilo-Town, are recent recipients of the 2010 Hawaii Music Award for Island Contemporary Album of The Year. Formed in 2007 by, 2003 Na Hoku Hanohano Award winner for Reggae Album of The Year (Three Plus), Karl Zinsman. Hi-Town has been generating a buzz around the Hawaiian music scene even before the release of their debut CD (Released Apr.'09). With their energetic live shows, five-part harmonies and brilliant horn section, Hi-Town has quickly become the band to watch in the islands. Co-Produced and Engineered by fellow Na Hoku Hanohano Award winner and music artist Damon Williams, Hi-Town's debut CD features 10 original tracks along with an array of talented guest artists and musicians: O-Shen (Sharpnote Records), Damon Williams (Phat Bula Records), Kahi Fernandez (Bamboo Records), Ekona Ravey (Mixjah, 'Aipohaku), Ace Loughmiller (Ho'okoa, Kekai Boys) & Luke Clebsch (Harmonica).
