Show Date
Saturday, June 21, 2025
Irie Love
Irie Love is a six-foot-tall, mixed-race American artist celebrated globally as a reggae sensation. Born and raised in Kailua, Hawaii, she embarked on a journey that took her from California to Jamaica and eventually to London, where she collaborated and toured with several renowned reggae artists—an experience she vividly recounts in her upcoming book.
Identifying as a “Reggae Soul” artist, Irie Love’s unique musical style is shaped by her multicultural upbringing and diverse global experiences. While her primary focus has been a successful recording career spanning two decades, her athletic pursuits have also played a significant role. A versatile athlete, she has excelled in canoe paddling, track & field, soccer, basketball, volleyball, and even powderpuff football during her college years.
After a transformative 2017, Irie Love shifted gears, temporarily stepping away from music to explore her other passions. Embracing a fitness career, she became a certified spin instructor, yoga teacher, wellness curator, mentor, and personal trainer.
In 2021, a serendipitous reunion with a longtime business acquaintance reignited her passion for music. With newfound inspiration and collaboration, Irie Love returned to the studio, overcoming challenges and ultimately finding artistic fulfillment in Paris working with legendary reggae producer Matthieu from Bost&Bim. The result—an entire album, a departure from the singles and reggae riddims of the past.
IRIE
LOVE
The Queen of Island Reggae
Music fans around the globe have streamed Irie Love’s music more than 100 million times and going strong. Her videos have millions of viewers and her musical collaborations with multi-generational beloved artists have become a valuable part of Island Culture and Music History.
Beyond her artistic endeavors, Irie Love is dedicated to charitable work, focusing on empowering women of color, youth, and serving as a Kahu (protector/caretaker) for cats. Her volunteer efforts include associations with Boys & Girls Club, Mana Mele, Habitat for Humanity, and various animal welfare organizations.
In May 2024 Irie Love returned to stage and screen co-starring as herself and performing an original song “In Another Life” on the season finale of NCIS Hawaii and completing a sold out headline tour of Hawaii.
Big Mountain
Billboard-charting Big Mountain is one of the first fruits of an American hard core Cali Roots Reggae band best known for its remake of Peter Frampton’s “Baby, I Love Your Way” which became a top 10 international hit that took Big Mountain up the charts and on tour around the world. With Quino’s distinctive voice, “Baby I Love Your Way” has become a generational love anthem that is recognized by all ages everywhere. When you walk in a shopping mall or a supermarket across the US you hear the song floating through the air. Baby I Love Your Way is currently on 710,000 playlists. Since May, 2023 Big Mountain has been put at #1 on 5 of the biggest playlists on Spotify with over 20 million followers.
For any of you that are not familiar with their history, Big Mountain first hit the charts in 1992 with their song “Touch My Light.” Following “Touch My Light” they released Baby I Love Your Way”, written by Peter Frampton, which has become one of the most well known love songs and mega commercial hits of all times. It has stayed on the top of the worldwide recurrent radio playlists for over 25 years. “Baby I Love Your Way” is an audience favorite and one of the most well known love songs worldwide. You would not believe how many plays it get every day. It gets over 10,000 plays a day at satellite, radio and in store. “Baby I Love Your Way” has increased the world population as it has stimulated romance and sex for three decades. “Baby I Love Your Way” is one of the top worldwide accepted love songs of all time.

Don Braden Quartet
2025-06-21 19:00 - 21:00 | HI, United States
A world-class saxophonist, flutist, composer and educator, Don Braden’s jazz career has spanned over 40 years. He has toured the world with jazz greats Betty Carter, Wynton Marsalis, Tony Williams, Freddie Hubbard, Roy Haynes, Herbie Hancock and the Hancock Institute, and many others, and has performed in venues as diverse as Carnegie Hall, Saturday Night Live, Harvard University (where he studied Engineering as an undergrad), and countless jazz festivals and clubs. He has played on over 100 CDs as a sideman and has produced 23 as a leader, the most recent being his critically acclaimed Earth Wind and Wonder and the recently released In the Spirit of Herbie Hancock and Chemiatry, co-led with bassist Joris Teepe.
Born in Cincinnati, Ohio on November 20, 1963, and raised in Louisville, Kentucky, Braden’s first exposure to music came from his parents’ record collection, and from radio. Although there were no musicians in his family, he showed a strong interest in music early on. At age 13, he started playing tenor sax in middle school band class, and two years later, joined his first professional band — influenced by and performing the music of “contemporary Jazz” groups like The Crusaders. After being introduced to acoustic jazz in high school by band director Ernie Sanders, Braden studied for years with saxophonist Mike Tracy and also attended Jamey Aebersold’s Summer Jazz Workshops. He went on to be chosen first chair for the McDonald’s All-American High School Jazz and Marching Bands, and to receive a Yamaha Instrument Award (given to an outstanding All-American Band member).
After his acceptance to Harvard University in 1981, Braden divided his time between studying engineering and performing at jazz clubs around the Boston/Cambridge area and with the Harvard Jazz Bands. In 1984, he took time off from Harvard to more deeply explore jazz (and some engineering) in the “real world” of New York City. While working part-time as a computer programmer, he landed his first gigs with the Harper Brothers Quintet, with organist Dr. Lonnie Smith, and then with legendary vocalist Betty Carter. After touring with the Wynton Marsalis Quintet for over seven months, he recorded with Betty Carter on her Grammy Award-winning album, “Look What I Got” (Verve-Polygram). Following tours in Europe, Japan and the Americas with Tony Williams, Roy Haynes, and many others, Braden became a member of the Freddie Hubbard Quintet from 1989 to 1991, then the Tom Harrell groups from 1993 through 1997. Since then he has worked with the Mingus Big Band, Kenny Barron, J. J. Johnson, the Dizzy Gillespie All-Stars, the Carnegie Hall Jazz Band, and many others, as well as with his own groups.
The Don Braden Quartet will appear for one-night only on Kauai. For more information, visit http://www.donbradenjazz.com.

This delicate dessert is gluten-free. Ingredients include Fresh Rice Flour, Salt, Water, Honey, Sesame Seeds, Brown Sugar, and Sesame Oil.
Shana Lee is a Korean American born and raised in Hawai’i. Her journey with Korean desserts began when she first tasted baekseolgi, a fluffy and chewy steamed rice cake. She was fascinated by its delicate simplicity and unique texture.
Shana fell in love with Rice Blossoms’ unique style and modern take on rice cakes, which wonderfully blends tradition with elegance. Discovering Korean desserts’ beauty and rich history has been a heartfelt and gratifying adventure. As part of Rice Blossoms, she is excited to educate and share these delightful creations with the people of Hawai’i. Through each dessert, Shana hopes to bring a little sweetness, a lot of aloha, and the perfect blend of tradition and modern artistry for you to enjoy!

Pō & the 4Fathers – TICKETS HERE
A New Perspective
Pō & the 4Fathers is a unique musical experience that delivers a lyrical message that is powerful and clear with a modern Kanaka Maoli perspective. The band is deeply rooted in Hawaiian culture, Polynesian rhythms, and indigenous sounds, as well as the music that has moved generations like reggae, soul, blues, funk, and hip hop. They write songs of joy, hardship, pain and triumph, learned from shared experiences from the time of Pō to the present, and into the future.
The New Sound
Through their connection with the Mana Maoli Collective the stars above Aotearoa aligned and a convergence of indigenous Hawaiian music like no other sprung up at the Pasifika Vibes Festival. Over a kanoa of ‘awa a musical bond was established. Many influences merged into a new sound, songs were shared and written, and a deep brotherhood was formed. Pō & the 4Fathers emerged creating a new style, sound, and impactful message that represents the forward movement of Maoli music.

2025-07-08 17:00 - 19:00 | Princeville Community Center, 4334 Emmalani Rd., Princeville, HI, 96722, United States
The Princeville Moʻolelo free lecture series will continue on Tuesday, July 8, 2025, with a special talk on the Koloa Maoli, or Hawaiian duck (Anas wyvilliana). Once widespread across all islands, Koloa Maoli are now only found on the islands of Kauaʻi and Niʻihau. This talk will begin with a brief overview of the Koloa Maoli, including how its ancestors arrived in Hawai‘I, and evolved into a unique species deeply intertwined with the islands’ ecosystems.
The presentation will then explore threats that have led to the species’ decline, including habitat loss, predation by introduced animals, and the particularly significant threat posed by introduced mallards. The core of the presentation will focus on current conservation efforts, highlighting an upcoming translocation project aimed at reestablishing Koloa Maoli populations on islands where they have been extirpated. These efforts, led by dedicated conservation teams, seek to restore Hawai‘i’s wetland ecosystems and ensure the survival of the Koloa Maoli for generations to come. The talk will conclude with ways the public can support this critical work, from spreading awareness to engaging in community conversations about native species conservation across Hawai‘i.
Free Lecture Series: Tuesday, July 8, 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.

Junior Toots began singing stage shows at a young age touring internationally with his late father Toots Hibbert who was a mainstay reggae artist on the world stage for over twenty years. Junior Toots has an ever-growing fan base as he has been captivating audiences of all ages far and wide with his electrifying high-energy performances, soul-filled vocals and socially relevant lyrics. His music is up tempo ska and reggae which generates great crowd responses.
In the midst of the current social turmoil, Junior Toots stays positive and focused on his music career and on being the change he wishes to see. From 1997 until 2020 Junior Toots toured with his father Toots and the Maytals, performing some of his own songs such as “Holding Firm,” and “Jah Give Us Victory,” as well as doings some of his father’s songs such as “Funky Kingston” and “54 46”. He has also been steadily recording his own material as well as working on collaborations with other artists. Junior Toots has released five albums called Crown of Fire, Reggae Got Soul, Junior Toots and the Stronghold, A Little Bit of Love and Guidance Star.

Junior Toots has also released many singles such as “Heart of the City” with GRW, “Physically Spiritually”, “His Name” with Akwerius and “Sweet and Dandy”, which was a tribute to his father. The idea to record “Sweet and Dandy” came from Toots Sr. who produced the track for his son which was released on December 8, 2020 to mark the day that would have been the 78th birthday for the recently transitioned Toots Hibbert or “Nyah” as he was called by his family. Other singles include “Green Lights” with GRW “Love The Herbs” and “Love Is The Best”
Sept 1, 2022 Junior Toots released the single, “Fayah Fi Di Wicked” featuring King Kanashi from the Virgin Islands and Blessed San from Uganda on his Crown of Fire Record Label. About the new single, Junior Toots shares, “This is a universal collaboration talking about the stress and frustration that the whole world is feeling – This is a prayer for the sick, this is prayer for the poor, this is a prayer for the people them living outdoors. This is a prayer for the poor, this is a prayer for the sick. Prayers for the people them living in the sticks”
Junior Toots songs are featured on movie and tv sound tracks such as Justice, which was re-named Youth Suffer, which was on Luke Cage (Netflix), The Wannabe (Electric Entertainment), Unfinished Business (Century Fox), Wetlands (Sundance Film Festival), Nuit De La Glisse / Addicted to Life.

Having the essence of Jamaica, a strong love for Jah and the Rastafarian culture, Junior Toots expresses the wisdom of his life-learning’s in his music and his live shows and in everyday life.
“I aim to continue spreading peace among people of all creeds, religions and color through my music and philanthropic missions. After witnessing so much violence in my homeland, I vowed at an early age to promote goodness, fairness and equality in all I do and with those I am blessed to work with. It’s what drives the music I write and present to the world,”…… Junior Toots
