Rocker and singer-songwriter Rob Bonfiglio has been very busy lately with Wanderlust's reunion album "Record Time" and producing the album "Dedicated" for Wilson Phillips, it's a wonder that Rob was able to release one of his own albums at the end of 2012 right after a Christmas single (released on a 45 RPM no less). One of the most played albums on the air from 2008 was Rob's album "Bring On The Happy", so The Time Machine has been looking forward to playing his latest batch of songs from his brand new album "Mea Culpa". Rob is no stranger to our playlists. Since the turn of the century, Rob's music has filled the Maui airwaves as a solo artist, a member of The Better Days, The Skies Of America and Superstone (the brainchild of rocker Ken Sharp). Rob's musical career goes further back into the 90's as a member of the RCA label band Wanderlust and his recent musical output has been featured on the soundtracks of motion pictures. The Time Machine crew were quite happy to have Rob return as a guest to the program. Rob discussed his latest album and shared some insight on some of his songs with the radio audience.

One of the most celebrated and talented singer-songwriters to emerge from Hawaii in the eighties and make a name for himself as one of Hawaii's top entertainers around the world is Willie K. Throughout the nineties and the turn of the century, Willie Kahaiali’i redefined the music scene in Hawaii. Willie was a guest on The Time Machine last year and shared his thoughts behind his latest blues masterpiece "Warehouse Blues".
