Troy Fernandez
Hawaii's Na Hoku Hanohano award winner, Troy Fernandez, whose lightning fast picking and innovative style were instrumental in generating the ukulele renaissance of the early 90s, is one of Hawaii's most influential "voices" in contemporary island music.
The High-D Boys
The High-D Boys started as a ukulele jazz band, with original members Patrick Summers and Javier Alcantara-Rojas, but they evolved into more of a show band, which was a natural evolution, thanks to Blomker’s theater background. They are not a band that stands there and plays one song after another. They encourage audience participation and the energy that brings, and they banter and joke with the crowd between songs, which creates magical experiences that are never the same twice.
The Fenians
For over twenty five years, The Fenians have delivered their potent mix of traditional Irish folk and good old rock n roll all across the USA and Ireland. Their foundation is decidedly Celtic, but there is no mistaking the complimentary influences of Rock, Folk, Bluegrass, Jazz, and World music.
Las Chikas
Viva las MUJERES! Las Chikas come together to give birth to a multicultural female band that sets the stage on fire and is comprised of some of the most talented female musicians in the Southland. Salsa never looked so good in the City of Angels.
Upstream
Upstream has been spreading their message of love and positivity through their exhilarating Caribbean music, namely, reggae, calypso, soca and steel drum music for quite some time now. Through the years they have mesmerized audiences around the world and brought ultimate enjoyment to all.
