Mokai is "Unearthed" on a rollicking collection recorded at the legendary Hyde Street Studios in San Francisco California.

Roots Musician Mokai lets loose on 12 songs in a variety of moods and styles. Mokai's vision is ripe and full, honed by years he spent as a wandering poet and guitarist. A rare display of songwriting skill and a bold approach to instrumentation make "Unearthed" an exciting listen, full of surprises and refreshingly different sounds.

Here's what Mokai has to say about "Unearthed"

I’ve had a life long passion for the guitar, for folk blues fingerpicking, and for the art of songwriting: that magic of turning a few minutes into a journey with all the scenery and the twists in the road that make it interesting.

“Unearthed” is an introduction to my music, an exploration of the different styles and rhythms that move me. I indulged my obsession for the guitar, digging up my own take on acoustic Blues, Jazz and Folk, and inviting the participation of some of the Bay Area's most exciting musicians, including emerging talents Erika Luckett and Mark Growden, and master instrumentalists Matt Eakle and John Capobianco.

Thanks to all of you who have been so supportive throughout this process. Looking forward to seeing you at the shows.

"pretty, acoustic guitar; catchy, interesting melodies; innovative instrumentation; stylistically diverse; toe-tappin' blues riffs!"
