kuba.
Since coming to the United States from Poland, Kuba Kawnik has been a regular on the cruise line entertainer & community concert scene. Best known for his diversity playing unusual instruments, he’s made a mark with audiences everywhere, solidifying a great connection with his fans not only through talent and music but also with his easy going persona and unique concerts.
Kuba’s keen desire to perform for & communicate with culturally diverse audiences has compelled him to perform his show speaking not only in English & Polish, but also in Japanese & Mandarin. This commitment to entertain along all lines, along with the varying musical styles from samba to classical and popular to jazz, has made Kuba one of the most unique and sought after entertainers in the multi-instrumental categories.
Born in Łódź, Poland, Jakub "Kuba" (pronounced “KOO-bah”) Kawnik was hand picked at 5 years old to train and study as a musician. Although probably best known for his performance on vibraphone, using a specialized 4-mallet technique, he is also an accomplished jazz percussionist, plays piano, guitar, violin, flute, handsaw and the one-of-a-kind Earth Harp. But perhaps most memorable to his audiences is his command of the Theremin. KUBA is one of only a few in the world who has mastered and plays this unique, fun and mystifying instrument live onstage, always a crowd favorite and totally unforgettable.
When not soloing, Kuba performs with his accomplished musical theatre actress wife Rebecca Lowe in their duo act Kubecca. Their wildly successful album together Goodnight, My Someone is heard regularly on Spotify & iTunes and has sold thousands of copies.
