Experience a night of musical magic, powerful storytelling, and the spirit of aloha — all in one unforgettable show.
The Boys in the Band, Alx Kawakami (guitar & vocals), Will Tafolo (bass), and Wendell Ching (drums) round out the all-star lineup, delivering the energy and musical chemistry that make every performance unforgettable.
