SUMMARY:Eli-Mac + Her Band
DESCRIPTION:ELI-MAC\nEli-Mac’s story reads like a fairytale– it’s a musical journey which has turned into an impressive career that took flight with her debut release of her hit five-song EP\, entitled Dubstop EP. A proud Filipino growing up in Hawaii\, Ciara-Camile (Eli-Mac spelled backwards) Roque Velasco was a rebel early on\, combining her island music roots with her love of R&B and hip-hop. At the age of 18\, Camile’s journey took shape when she landed a spot on the hit TV show American Idol as a Top 10 finalist on Season 3. From there\, Eli-Mac went on to record a version of Bob Marley’s “Guava Jelly\,” produced by his son Stephen Marley\, at Tuff Gong Studios in Jamaica. The track earned her the Hawaii Music Awards’ “Single of the Year.” Since then\, Eli-Mac has been touring relentlessly across the US and beyond. A new studio album is currently in the works for this year\, following up on her latest release “Resume” featuring Collie Buddz. \nEli-Mac’s musical and fashion style comes from growing up in the ‘90s listening to Lauryn Hill\, Salt-N-Pepa\, TLC\, and Erykah Badu along with hip-hop icons Wu-Tang Clan\, Nas\, Tupac Shakur\, and Mobb Deep. She shared her mom’s love of ‘70s disco and ‘80s Madonna\, while her father turned her onto ‘60s classic rock and jazz from The Eagles and The Doors to Billie Holiday. She discovered her sound by combining her three favorite genres – roots reggae\, hip-hop and R&B – creating the groundbreaking Dubstop EP with subsequent dub-wise\, rootsy songs like “Can’t Get Enough” and “Roots Girl.” Earlier releases\, like the slinky “Mr. Sensi” featuring Conkarah\, represent Eli-Mac’s unique urban island style and support for cannabis culture. \n“I am proud to incorporate my upbringing in Hawaii into my music. That culture remains important to me…” \nBy rebranding herself as Eli-Mac\, Camile has been able to step outside herself – and the limitations put on her by others. She has emerged into a rebellious\, confident\, polarizing performer\, not an alter ego\, as she insists – but a truer version of her real self. \n“Eli-Mac is an extension of who I really am\,” she explains. “And that has allowed me the\nultimate freedom to finally be myself without conforming to any of the stereotypes the industry imposes on women.” \nEli-Mac has shared the stage with iconic artists like Gwen Stefani\, Sublime\, Lauryn Hill\, Shaggy\, Stephen Marley\, Iration\, SOJA\, Collie Buddz\, J Boog and Common Kings\, just to name a few. \nShow Date\nSaturday\, March 7\, 2026 \nShow Details\n5:30 PM: Doors Open\n6:30 PM: Music \nTimes subject to change.

Eli-Mac is this year’s Lokahi Ambassador providing needed outreach to our keiki combatting bullying and the rising suicide rates on this island. Eli-Mac’s donation of time and energy to this cause is critical to the success of this program. We are beyond excited to welcomer her to the Porter Pavilion as we raise awareness and needed funding to keep our program in the schools alive.

SUMMARY:OPERALOHA!
DESCRIPTION:OperAloha! \nChamber Music Kauai will be offering a one-night-only performance of OperAloha on Saturday\, March 7 at 7pm at St. Michael and All Angels Church in Lihue. Opera Aloha is a concert tour that blends opera with the diverse musical traditions of Hawaii\, presented by global opera talent. Over the past four years\, the series has showcased music in more than a dozen languages\, reflecting the cultural richness of the islands\, including Native Hawaiian\, Maori\, Samoan\, Chinese\, Japanese\, Korean\, Tagalog\, Portuguese\, and Spanish\, alongside traditional operatic repertoire in Italian\, French\, German\, and English. The program emphasizes personal storytelling and the shared tradition of ensemble singing\, something both opera and Hawaiian music deeply value. \nOne of the program’s special highlights will be a performance by hula dancer Jelacia Peralta\, who will be Kauai’s Miss Aloha Hula contestant at the Merrie Monarch Festival this April! \n>> Get Tickets << \nThe concert will feature Samoan soprano Aivale Cole\, who performs regularly across Europe and is known both as an opera singer and a film music performer. Many will recognize her soaring soprano voice from The Lord of the Rings. Also appearing is Maori-Chinese bass Morgan Andrew King\, currently based at the Frankfurt Opera and a graduate of the Curtis Institute of Music. He will be joining the Paris Opera Ensemble this summer\, and just before coming to us\, he’ll be on an all-Maori concert tour in Switzerland\, making his appearance here especially meaningful. Tenor Christopher Oglesby\, based in San Francisco\, sings regularly with San Francisco Opera and Opera San Jose. He returns to the islands after a very successful appearance with Opera Aloha last season and brings both vocal power and a strong connection with local audiences. \nThe producer of Opera Aloha is concert pianist Ronny Michael Greenberg\, who has worked extensively in Hawaii since 2018\, including with the Hawaii Performing Arts Festival on the Big Island\, Kahilu Theatre\, and Hawaii Opera Theatre. Ronny returns to Hawaii Opera Theatre this April to work on their newly commissioned Hawaiian opera\, “Kamalehua: The Sheltering Tree”. \nA maximum of 150 tickets will be sold. Any tickets remaining at the time of the concert will be available for $30 by cash\, Hawaii check\, Zelle\, or Venmo. \n>> OperAloha << \nFor more information\, contact Chamber Music Kauai director Greg Shepherd at 808-482-1455 or broadwaypacificproductions@gmail.com.
