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!

Kalani Pe’a
Kalani Peʻa sings everything from classical, musical, ballads, R&B, soul to traditional and original Hawaiian music, displaying his wide-ranging talents as a songwriter and music composer. His talent for lyrics and Hawaiian language fluency is on display in his original Hawaiian songs alongside his affectionate bilingual arrangements of R&B favorites.
It started at age four when Peʻa was diagnosed with a speech impediment — his mother introduced him to singing and music to help him pronounce his words. His father comes from a musical family and both parents encouraged him to take vocal lessons and choir –by age 8, Peʻa was winning numerous talent competitions, and went on to win in men’s classical and musical divisions while receiving his degree from Colorado Mesa Univ.
His debut album brought him to Dave Tucciarone, a 13-time Nā Hōkū Hanohano Award-Winning Engineer and Producer in Honolulu, leading to the 2017 Grammy® win and first Na Hoku Award. This successful collaboration continued with Kalani’s second CD, No ‘Ane‘i [We Belong Here] and 3rd CD Kau Ka Pe‘a, earning him Grammy Awards, and featuring him in 2022 Grammy Opening Premiere Concert. Kau Ka Pe‘a also won him 2 Nā Hōkū awards, including the honor of Male Vocalist of the Year. He now boasts a remarkable 4 for 4, winning his 4th Grammy for his 4th release Kuini.
The first Hawaiian singer to be part of Lincoln Center’s American Songbook, Kalani returned to New York in 2024, for Carnegie Hall’s Musical Explorers program, selling out eight shows for students as well as two family matinees. A fluent Hawaiian speaker, Peʻa started his career as an educator, publishing five Hawaiian language children’s stories. He taught at Kamehameha Schools in Kona and Maui, teaching Hawaiian culture (science focus), and creating curriculum. In 2021, his song E Na Kini was featured on the Netflix release Finding ‘Ohana and he was also selected as a featured artist for Spotify and Amazon Music campaigns during AAPI (Asian-American Pacific Islander) month, gracing billboards on over 120 transit shelters in New York and San Francisco. Following his first Grammy win, he was honored by the Hawai‘i State House of Representatives with an official proclamation: “It is vital that Native Hawaiian culture and the arts be perpetuated for future generations: Kalani Pe’a is a torchbearer and we recognize his accolades, accomplishments, and continued work on behalf of Native Hawaiians.”
Self-described as “Hawaiian contemporary soul”, Kalani’s dynamic and charming stage presence, vocal brilliance, and range of songs from Hawaiian to R&B has brought him to the forefront of Hawaiian music for both traditionalists and a new generation. Adding a Christmas show to his repertoire, Kalani Pe‘a’s Hawaiian Christmas is a celebration of the warmth and special “aloha” of the Holiday Season, sharing much-loved songs from both western and Hawaiian roots.
