Producer Charles Michael Brotman, winner of the first best Hawaiian music album Grammy in 2005, and ki ho'alu guitarists Sonny Lim and Jeff Peterson will be featured on National Public Radio's "On Point" program tomorrow.

The hourlong interview conducted by host Tom Ashbrook will be broadcast on NPR stations in more than 100 cities nationwide.

The two-hour "On Point" program will be available for download as a podcast at www.onpointradio.org. "On Point" is currently not on the programming schedules of Hawaii Public Radio stations KHPR-FM and KIPO-FM.

Brotman won the best Hawaiian music album Grammy as producer of the multi-artist instrumental compilation "Slack Key Guitar, Vol. 2." Brotman, Lim and Peterson contributed individual tracks to the disc.

The interview is expected to focus on Big Island-based Palm Records' recording projects, artists and the current Mainland slack-key concert tour.
