As he prepares to release his third album ("We Will Rise") of all original music, Maui's Anthony Pfluke has released the album's first single "World Undone". Written in 2016, Pfluke said, "I’ve always enjoyed sharing the message of this song, but now seems like the time for it to be featured as the first single off my album." The song's refrain, "trying to find my way back to the place I was born... in a world that's come undone" is particularly appropriate to the times we're now living in.
Although only 20 years old, Pfluke has been playing 'ukulele since he was ten, and has a wealth of experience performing at venues all over Maui, the west coast, and in Japan. Influenced by a variety of artists including Ledward Kaapana, Bob Marley, Mike Love, Trevor Hall, John Mayer, Ed Sheeran, and Dennis Kamakahi, he has performed with and opened for many of Hawai'i's top names, as well as performing alongside artists such as Willie Nelson, Steven Tyler, and Jack Johnson at the “Concert for Our Lives" in 2018. He has also performed at slack key festivals and events such as the APP World Tour stand up paddling competition.
Pfluke's first teacher was Kumu Kealoha Delos Santos, and multiple Grammy® winner George Kahumoku Jr. mentored him on slack key guitar. Four years ago, Kahumoku said, "I've watched his talent grow into one of the shakers and movers of the next generation of Hawaiian music. Sometimes I forget that he is still a 16 year old, because he already plays and sings like a pro."
"World Undone" was produced, recorded, and engineered by multiple Grammy® and Nā Hōkū Hanohano Award winner Dave Tucciarone. Pfluke is on vocals and plays ‘ukulele and guitar. Contributing artists include Kapono Nā’ili’ili (percussion), and Dave Tucciarone (bass). It is available on all digital outlets.
