Description
Lee DeWyze
With Opener Johnny Helm
Lee DeWyze emerged from Chicago’s rich music scene with a voice and songwriting shaped by intimacy, restraint, and lived experience. After years spent honing his craft in local rooms, his work reached a national audience when he won American Idol - a moment that marked not a culmination, but a beginning. Intent on defining himself beyond the television spotlight, DeWyze turned inward, committing fully to songwriting as both discipline and compass. That commitment crystallized with his debut album Frames, and soon after, his music found a second life onscreen. A pivotal placement on The Walking Dead introduced his work to a wider audience and opened the door to a prolific career in licensing and synchronization. Whether experienced live, discovered through film and television, or heard in moments of quiet reflection, Lee DeWyze’s work continues to resonate - defined by emotional honesty, prolific songwriting, and performances that linger long after the final note.

Modern Folk Rock/ Americana artist, Johnny Helm, is no stranger in the music scene in Hawaii. For over 30 years, he has had an active career as a local performer and has been nominated for three Na Hōkū Hanohano Awards. Johnny also works behind the scenes at Orange Pear Productions, where he has composed and scored multiple film projects and commercials. In 2020, he won an EMMY® Award for his score of the documentary, “Ka Huaka’i: The Journey to Merrie Monarch.”
In 2008, Johnny met and began writing with Jed Leiber, the son of legendary songwriter Jerry Leiber (of the famed writing team Leiber and Stoller). Their friendship continues to this day, and the songs that have been born out of their partnership have gained much acclaim. Johnny’s catalogue of recordings includes the single “Ride,” the title song of the feature film “The Ride” starring Ludacris, and “Christa’s Way,” the title song of the feature documentary “The Adventures of Super CW.” In 2023, he won the top prize in the Hawaii Songwriting Festival for his song, “Hat on My Head,” a tribute to his late father.
In addition to his performing, songwriting and scoring talents, Johnny also harbors sought after producing skills, and has produced many of Hawaii’s top local artists, including John Cruz, Tavana, Barry Flannigan and Jenny Yim.
