Talib Kweli Live in Concert
2025-08-16 16:30 - 21:00 | Common Ground Kauai, 4900 Kauwa Rd, Kilauea, HI, 96754
Saturday, August 16th | The Loading Dock at Common Ground, Kauaʻi
Gates Open at 4:30 PM | All Ages | $45
Hip hop takes center stage on Kauaʻi as iconic lyricist Talib Kweli performs live at the Loading Dock at Common Ground — an open-air venue that blends island vibes with urban soul.
Join us for an unforgettable night of live music and hip hop beats — from Talib’s legendary lyricism to local DJs and opening acts repping the islands.
The Brooklyn-based MC earned his stripes as one of the most lyrically-gifted, socially aware and politically insightful rappers to emerge in the last 20 years “I’m a touring artist. I’m an artist that’s internationally known. I’m not just a local artist at this point in my career. I’m cognizant of the fact that what I do is beyond where it started. I’m trying to reach the apex of where I am now, but without turning my back on or dismissing what I’ve done before.” After nearly 20 years of releasing mesmerizing music, Talib Kweli stands as one of the world’s most talented and most accomplished Hip Hop artists. Whether working with Mos Def as one-half of Black Star, partnering with producer Hi-Tek for Reflection Eternal, releasing landmark solo material or collaborating with Kanye West, Pharrell Williams, Just Blaze, J Dilla, or Madlib, Kweli commands attention by delivering top-tier lyricism, crafting captivating stories and showing the ability to rhyme over virtually any type of instrumental.
In 2011, Kweli founded Javotti Media, which is self-defined as “a platform for independent thinkers and doers.” Kweli has set out to make Javotti Media (which released his 2011 album, Gutter Rainbows, and is named after his paternal grandmother) into a media powerhouse that releases music, films and books.

Princeville Moʻolelo Free Lecture: “What's the Fuss About Fallout?”
2025-08-19 17:00 - 18:30 | Princeville Community Center, 4334 Emmalani Rd., Princeville, HI, 96722, United States
The Princeville Moʻolelo free lecture series will continue on Tuesday, August 19, 2025, as Jacqueline Nelson, Program Manager with Save Our Shearwaters, returns with important information about how we can help protect seabirds.
Have you heard of fallout season? Why does everyone keep referring to it as a big deal? Well, from September to December each year, thousands of fledgling shearwaters and petrels make their first journey out to sea from the safety of their burrows. However, their first flight isn’t always so simple. They are instinctually guided by the light of the moon out to the ocean, but lights from urbanization can cause them to become disoriented and land in inappropriate locations. Once grounded they are usually unable to take flight again and become vulnerable to a wide variety of threats. This is referred to as “fallout”, impacting hundreds of light-attracted shearwaters on Kaua‘i each year.
With fallout season around the corner, Jacqueline will explain this phenomenon, how the public can help, volunteer opportunities and key factors affecting fallout numbers for 2025. Additionally, she will cover wildlife rehabilitation regulations and basic wildlife laws that govern this type of conservation work.
BIO: Jacqueline Nelson graduated from Virginia Tech in 2017 with a BA in Public Relations and BS in Natural Resource Conservation and Recreation Management. She has been working for SOS since 2018 when she started as a Wildlife Rehabilitation Technician but now holds the title of Senior Program Manager. Over the years, she has aided in the rescue and rehabilitation of over 3,500 patients that have come through SOS’s doors. As Program Manager, you can find her doing one of a hundred different jobs at any time including developing rehabilitation protocols, managing social media accounts, attending outreach events, consulting on patient cases, answering the hotline, grant writing, and more.
Free Lecture Series: Tuesday, August 19, 2025 5:00 to 6:30pm in the Princeville Community Center. The presentation will also be available via Zoom. For more information, visit www.kauairefuges.org/princeville-moolelo.
About the Series: Friends of Kauaʻi Wildlife Refuges is pleased to partner with the Princeville at Hanalei Community Association Events Committee to present this engaging series. Together, they are presenting free informative “talk story” events monthly in the Princeville Community Center to share the work and stories of conservation partners, Hawaiian cultural practitioners and more.
About Friends of Kauaʻi Wildlife Refuges: Kīlauea Point Natural History Association, now doing business as “Friends of Kauaʻi Wildlife Refuges,” serves as a 501(c)(3) non-profit Friends Group that supports the wildlife conservation, education, and historic preservation work of the Kauaʻi National Wildlife Refuge Complex, which includes Kīlauea Point, Hanalei and Hulēʻia NWRs.

Melvin Seals & JGB
Melvin Seals has been a powerful presence in the music industry for over 30 years with a long-established reputation as a performer, recording artist and producer. Melvin is most revered for his powerful, high-spirited, Hammond B-3 organ, and keyboards in the Jerry Garcia Band. Melvin spun his B-3 magic with the Jerry Garcia Band for 18 years and in doing so helped pioneer and define what has now become “Jam Band Music”. From blues to funk to rock to jazz, Melvin Seals serves up a tasty mix with a little R&B and gospel thrown in to spice things up.
Melvin and JGB bring an intuitive, expressive style, soul, spontaneity and remarkable chops to the table. John Kadlecik on lead guitar and vocal duties, John-Paul McLean’s savory bass, Jeremy Hoenig on the drums and, of course, a heapin’ helpin’ of the wizard’s magic on Hammond B-3 Organ and keyboards. Their chemistry is the focus from which they create a spontaneous and high art where the sky is the limit musically. They offer an exciting, often psychedelic musical journey that changes nightly and keeps the audience dancing and smiling (and some staring in amazement) for hours.
Adding his rock-gospel-soul-rhythm and blues touch with his funky style of playing, no wonder Jerry nicknamed him “Master of the Universe”. Melvin continues to treat music lovers to his unique brand of melodic flavor with JGB. Come see and hear for yourself!
