KOLOHE KAI
with special guests Matisyahu and Cydeways
There are no longer any performances available for this show.
Yokouchi Pavilion and A&B Amphitheater
GATES OPEN AT 5:00 PM
Kolohe Kai has consistently been one of the most popular artists in Pacific Island Reggae music for over a decade. The project of O‘ahu born and raised singer/songwriter Roman De Peralta, Kolohe Kai has produced ten island reggae hits since signing a record deal at age 17. His sound infuses the localism of ‘ukulele music with rhythms of roots reggae, and more recently pop and R&B—pushing Kolohe Kai into an elevated tier of Island Reggae.
Matisyahu first started touring in packed clubs more than eleven years ago, prior to the release of Live at Stubbs, the now Gold record, and prior to that record’s single King without a Crown reaching #1 on the alternative rock radio charts. His performances were a raw expression of his spirituality at that time and were supported by musicians who played a foundation of roots reggae.
Fans within the improvisational-jam scene began flocking to Matisyahu’s shows shortly thereafter. King without a Crown climbed the charts and Matisyahu’s follow up record Youth was nominated for a Grammy. Through his lyrics, Matisyahu developed a more personal, artistic, and sophisticated way to express the yearning for deep spiritual meaning, and as his own beliefs opened up to find more variety and depth, the desire for his performances to match the unpredictable flow of life developed as well.
Food and beverages will be available for purchase from 5:00 - 10:00 pm on the A&B Amphitheater lawn. See Full Menu HERE. No outside food & beverages allowed.
