Pablus of the Crazed Mugs
Under the palm tree, strumming away at his uke and watching the waves roll in and out.. this is where you are likely to find Pablus. All too often someone is described as having a poets soul, rarely is that coupled with a voice as full as the summer moon and smooth as a seashell that has been worn by the endless ocean tides. You will discover that Pablus possesses both.

 



Lelani Duteil
Quietly proud of her Hawaiian ancestry and the legacy of her hula dancer grandmother, Leilani Duteil is steeped in the beautiful tradition of native Hawaiian dance. The stories live on in the gentle motions of her hands and the sway of her hips, but it is her eyes and her smile that truly speak volumes of the generations of Hawaiian people who knew aloha as a way of life.

 



Francis Llacuna
It wouldn’t be fitting to describe a man as young, vibrantly alive, and talented as Mr. Llacuna as a relic from an era past, but when it comes to the song of the islands, this is precisely what he is. You will not get many opportunities to meet and listen to a musician with the depth and knowledge that Francis has in his very bones. Those songs you love so much.. the ones you seek out on dusty racks of vinyl.. he knows them all by heart, and he plays them with such passion that you will know he feels them in his heart as well.
