Taulia Lave
Taulia invites you to celebrate his birthday and support The Boys and Girls Club of Hawai’i at Porter Pavilion!
Lave is not your typical Country Singer. He’s a 47-year old, 6’2”, 280 pound Samoan who was a college football linebacker and former police officer who grew up listening to Randy Travis, George Strait, and Garth Brooks on the coast of Waiʻanae, Oʻahu.
When his father passed away unexpectedly ~4 years ago, Taulia dedicated himself full-time to making music in honor of his Dad starting with his debut single Feels Like Home.
Taulia has sold out shows across his home state and just released his tribute to Kenny Rogers The Gambler which he recorded entirely in Nashville.
Waianae Boys & Girls Club was a big part of Taulia’s upbringing and he is so happy to be supporting them on Kauai!

Highlights

This show is part of Anaina Hou Community Park’s “Concerts with a Cause” Series. This installment is raising funds and awareness for the Boys and Girls Club of Hawai’i. The mission of Boys & Girls Club of Hawaii is to enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens.
The after-school hours are a critical time for youth – a time when many children in our communities are left to fend for themselves without positive adult supervision. BGCH provides a safe place filled with hope and opportunity, ongoing relationships with caring adult mentors, and enriching programs.
