Weʻre moving the gig to the new Band Pavillion. Outdoor dancing, or bring your beach chairs and enjoy the music of Kanekoa.

Kanekoa is one of Hawaii’s premier live music experiences, playing what is described as “ukulele-powered Hawaiian jam-rock.” Their sound is based on the untapped potential of the electrified Hawaiian ukulele. Guided by the culture and land of Hawai‘i, Kanekoa is right at home playing any type of genre from traditional Hawaiian to 80’s Pop to Jamband Blues, uniquely offering their signature electric ukulele sound to everything they play. Wherever this band plays people are mesmerized, they have caught the ear of some of the biggest names in music including Mick Fleetwood, Los Lobos, and Bill Kreutzman from the Grateful Dead who even called Kanekoa, “The Hawaiian Grateful Dead”. — To hear this band, and the music that comes from their four strings…is to love this band.

“Lightest Load, is an appealing example of the quartet’s commitment to the electric ukulele. The arrangement brings to mind the island hits of Henry Kapono without sounding like a knock-off; they’re building on the past, not ripping it off.” –John Berger, Honolulu Star Advertiser

“These guys scare me, they are that good” —David Hidalgo, Los Lobos
