Covid protocols will be observed. Ages 18 and up admitted. Ages 21+ for bar.

Covid liability policy listed on the bottom of this page is considered agreed upon by purchasing tickets to this event.

It’s impossible to define Leilani Wolfgramm. To say she is a singer-songwriter would do no justice to the raw storytelling songstress and fierce voice that she is. Her music is emotionally raw, fiercely candid, self-deprecating and the most honest reflection of someone trying to make sense of an insane world.

Her songs are a musical auto-biography - visually narrating us through scenes of early childhood trauma, drug addiction, mental illness, familial loss, self-destruction, romantic dynamics and mortality mixed with an open self-dialogue, painful self-observation and genuine self-awareness.

She is a true artist when it comes to matching vibes to stories. She wanders in and out of genres with incredible ease with a range of work spanning soulful reggae, indie pop, electronic dancehall and everything in between. She is a living breathing story of what it means to be human, to be open about one’s demons, and of the power that comes from owning our own nature and looking at ourselves without fear.

Her performances are electrifying - mystifying you with stories, dance, genre-bending antics and pure self-deprecating honesty that keeps you enraptured in motion as you party the night away with loved ones in the best possible way.

She is unapologetically who she is and helps anyone who might be wandering in the dark find that same courage.

Through elements of language, music and current events, KA’IKENA SCANLAN and his band, THESE GUYS, offer an experience of island life through distinct perspectives of their home, Hilo, Hawaii.

THESE GUYS present a four piece reggae band exuding flavors of their island lifestyle. They bring their own personal touch to the already jazzy roots of reggae music.

Lead vocalist KA’IKENA SCANLAN adds a cultural twist on lyricism that aims to revolutionize the face of a genre the group calls “Hawaiian Reggae”.

With a blend of smooth soulful tones, feel good vibes, and charismatic stage presence, Swells OC captivates his audiences locally and abroad. Born in Orange County, California, Swells OC got his first taste for music playing and singing at church. Being of Tongan decent, music is such a rich part of the culture, so it was only natural that he latched on to music at such a young age. 

Swells OC got his first big break in the island reggae market as a musician, backing artists such as Fiji, Common Kings, Sammy Johnson, Katchafire, and more; however, it wasn't until recently that he decided to pursue a solo career as an independent island reggae artist. 

Being an artist that writes and produces his own music, Swells OC has already released two singles titled, "Rock The Night" and "Still Wanna Be" feat. Sammy Johnson, and a self titled EP in October of 2019; the latter project having charted at #4 upon release on the iTunes Reggae charts.

Swells attributes much of his success to the many artists that he's had the chance to work with. Be on the lookout for his upcoming releases as well as his upcoming tour dates.

Aaron Watene has done two world tours with Grammy nominated pop group ”The Jets” and was a song writer on the hit children TV show ”Yo Gabba Gabba”.

In 2017 his band ”Culture Crew“ toured with legendary Producer/Rapper Wyclef Jean all over the United States and Mexico.

He has collaborations across an immense spanse of genres with notable music stars such as Yo Gabba Gabba, Snoop Dogg, The Roots, Biz Markie, Jack Black, The Jets, The Ting Tings, Erykah Badu, Dr. Pepper, Nickelodeon, Disney, Canada’s Tree House and much more.
