Born and raised in Kalihi-Palama on the island of Oʻahu, Brother Noland is an impactful player in Hawaiʻi’s music scene and one of Hawaiʻi’s most respected artists. While he is a man of many passions, music is the consuming passion of his life. He is a storyteller at heart and music is how he shares his stories. Music is a portal – sounds, melody and lyrics can transport you back in time, connect you to a familiar feeling, or inspire you in the moment. Brother Noland is a musical artist. Seeing him live on stage, you will step into an experience and embark on a journey to what he calls the “Crazy Aloha Music”. Always so happy, inspiring and ready to deliver. Brother Noland will keep you engaged, as he sings you sweet music, like poetry to your ears, in hopes that you will listen, not just hear, the underlying harmony he so wishes to share with you and the entire world.
Brother Noland is a legacy Hawaiian artist who has deeply influenced contemporary Hawaiian music. For nearly 40 years Brother Noland has filled the airwaves with original compositions that have become local classics and island treasures. He is most famous for timeless hits such as “Coconut Girl” and “Are You Native”, and is often credited with the birth of “Jawaiian” contemporary style music by infusing traditional Hawaiian music with reggae, jazz and blues sounds. He has won numerous Nā Hōkū Hanohano Awards including Best Reggae Album and most recently the Slack Key Kiho’alu Legacy Award in 2018. His music is featured in several movies including “Pineapple Express” and “Snakes in the Plane.” Brother Noland is a regular stage performer that brings his classics to his fans and audiences, along with traditional Hawaiian music, slack key, and Hawaiian swing music. He is also a collaborator that works with many of Hawaii’s top musicians.
A true innovator, he is always out in front, changing and pushing his music to unexpected places. His songs, stories, and style have proven his talent to cross many genres and fearlessly explore the lengths of his wonderment. Brother Noland was honored in 2014 by the State of Hawai’i with a “Lifetime Achievement in Music” award and is a recipient of Hawai’i Academy of Recording Arts highest award, the Lifetime Achievement Award for the year 2019. As a Lifetime Achievement Awardee, Brother Noland is designated as a Life Member of the Hawai‘i Academy of Recording Arts. Despite the awards and accolades, Brother Noland has never forgotten his roots and his community. Through his philanthropy, he serves as a mentor to Hawaiʻi’s youth, helping them to define their choices and foster a quality connection to their communities. Brother Noland is founder of Hōʻea Initiative, dedicated to teaching Hawaiʻi’s keiki (children) about how to live off the ʻĀina (land) and the ocean. The Hōʻea Initiative programs are a passionate effort to share universal understanding of indigenous knowledge and principles found outside in the natural world. As a steward of the land, Noland has a deep connection to Hawaiʻi and preserving Hawaiian customs, indigenous plants and animal species. In 2013, he authored the “Hawaiian Survival Handbook” where he shares the outdoor skills he has developed over a lifetime spent in Hawai’i’s forests and waters.
While music is Brother Noland’s root and wing to Hawai’i and beyond, he sees it as just one way to connect to his heritage and only one facet of what it means to be Hawaiian. His music and community spirit carries a message of positive reflection, while rooted in the reality we face today. Brother Noland proudly carries with him the values of Aloha through his music and his life. An artist, author, philanthropist, survivalist, mentor and family man, Brother Noland continually inspires and infuses creativity and innovation to pave new paths of music and humanity around the world. Whether composing a song, strumming a guitar, teaching traditional Hawaiian survival skills, or sharing the gift of aloha, Brother Noland has long been a stable of the islands and his legacy reaches far and wide. The World of Brother Noland is that of A Pure Hawaiian Vision.

Barry Sless and Stephen Inglis
After a mutual friend set them up with a duet gig at Peri’s in Fairfax, CA in January 2024, it was clear from the start that the duo had found the right ingredients for a special musical dish. Hawaiian Slack Key Guitar and the Pedal Steel share many deep roots, but are seldom if ever heard together. Their maiden voyage included traditional Hawaiian songs, Inglis originals, favorites from the Grateful Dead and Dylan songbooks and much more. Both Barry, Stephen and everyone in attendance agreed that the music felt effortless, captivating, vibrant and full. It was clear that this would be the first of many shows to come.
Barry has been making frequent trips to the islands over the past few decades as a member of The David Nelson Band and other acts, which has kindled his love of Hawaiian music. He was a frequent member of Phil Lesh’s touring bands from the early 2000’s and currently tours as a member of Bobby Weir and Wolf Bros, Moonalice, and continues in the 30th year of David Nelson Band.
Born and raisedin Honolulu, Stephen plays Grammy-nominated Hawaiian slack key and is equally at home playing improv-rock on the electric guitar. He is the 2021 recipient of the Ki Hōʻalu Legacy Award (Honoring those who perpetuate the art if Hawaiian Slack Key Guitar) giving him his third nod at the Nā Hōkū Hanohano Awards; Hawaiʻiʻs highest musical honor. One of those is for the duet album with the legendary Dennis Kamakahi; Waimaka Helelei, whic is on permanent display at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC. Barely out of his teens, Stephen formed a group with legendary Grateful Dead drummer, Bill Kreutzmann.
Hattie Craven & Alex Jordan
A collaborative duo to be reckoned with, Hattie Craven & Alex Jordan bring high energy musicality and a collection of original tunes and twisted covers with an stage presence. A brief meeting at a popular music festival in the foothills of California’s Sierra Nevada lead to a chance reunion years later where, as society began to emerge from the pandemic, the two artists connected over a love of harmony singing.
The daughter of legendary musician and personality Joe Craven, Hattie has been steeped in Americana her whole life, eventually finding a unique approach to the banjo ukulele and learning the guitar, using both as a vehicle for her songwriting and grooving performances to compliment her remarkable and powerful voice. In addition to frequent appearances with her father, Hattie leads “Hattie & and the Moonhowlers” who frequent the Central Valley and festival circuit in California.
Jordan, the son of a high school music teacher, found himself working through the brass section in middle school and high school, focusing on Jazz Trombone before learning guitar at 17. After majoring in classical voice, Jordan joined Bay Area favorites Midnight North and was a staple at Phil Lesh’s Terrapin Crossroads before departing from the band after six years and releasing two solo records, most recently Queen Kerosene on March 8, 2024. Together, they sing in tight blended harmony with Jordan playing dexterous leads over Craven’s chopping rhythm, and are as likely to move an audience to tears as they are to get them on their feet.
Kingside is an up-and-coming group that blends rock, reggae, and hip hop in a fun and dynamic style. The quartet from North Hawaii plays a solid bevy of original songs while putting their fresh spin on covers in their energetic live shows.
With a penchant for soulful, grooving island rock & hip hop, Big Island band Kingside is on a mission to make you move with their music.
The band consists of longtime friends Alan Ku, Brad Bordessa, and Ryan Higgins on bass, uke/vox, and guitar/vox respectively and newest addition Nick Rohfeld on the drums. Ryan (who goes by the artist name Higgs) and Brad are solo artists in their own right, and the quartet plays original songs penned by the two of them, as well as covering a genre-spanning range of tunes – from Sister Hazel to CeeLo Green.
Doors 5:30pm…Show 6:30pm-9:30pm. Tickets are $10 in advance…$13 at the door (children 12 and under are free).
