About the Artists
– BENNY UYETAKE –
Benny has played with some of the world’s finest musicians on Maui and while touring. Over the years Benny has shared the stage with some of Hawaiʻi’s greatest trailblazers like Uncle Willie K and Barry Flanagan of HAPA, as well as the world’s most talented jazz players Les McCann, Russel Malone, and Donald Harrison. His versatility comes from his years of musical study in different genres with mentors in classical, jazz, Hawaiian, Blues, and rock.
– MITCH KEPA​​ –
Born and raised in Hawaii, Kepa knew music was going to be a big part of his life when he saw a TV commercial featuring the late Gabby Pahinui playing beautiful Hawaiian slack key guitar. “The rest was history for me. Hawaiian music started my journey as an artist,” he said. Kepa has been performing for more than 30 years, concentrating on vocals first and guitar second.
Mitch Kekoa Kepa, mixes R&B traditions with island vibes, offering a laid-back and funky groove that appeals to all generations. Considered one of the few remaining original Hawaiian Renaissance artists, Kepa found his musical style through a range of influences including local Hawaiian hit artists Gabby Pahinini and Cecilio & Kapono, Motown greats like Marvin Gaye, the Temptations, and Steve Wonder, and the soulful jazz and blues genius of George Benson. “Music is my first love,” says Kepa. “What it means to me? It comes before everything. It’s food for the soul.” From a young age, Kepa had a keen ear for music which sprung out of his Hawaiian family beginnings. The second of nine children, Kepa grew up listening to the ukulele and Hawaiian folk songs of his mother, Nani “Barbara” Kepa and extended family which played music during regular family gatherings. Nani inspired a new generation of musicians who included Kepa’s five brothers—John, Milton, Ama, Alika, and Tony—all of whom grew up playing music together.
Upon leaving home to attend college at the University of Hawaii Manoa, Kepa quickly developed his distinct sound and found himself playing among the likes of Joe Cano, an internationally recognized guitar virtuoso who played with George Benson, and Hawaiian legends Henry Kapono, John Cruz, and other iconic R&B and jazz musicians. For twenty-plus years, Kepa has captured the hearts of local Hawaiian culture and the appreciation of crowds across Hawaii. He played with Iao Stream Band for close to a decade, and today performs solo and duo contemporary arrangements with local music greats including jazz saxophonist Rock Hendricks.

ABOUT ROWDY LOVE
Who is Rowdy Love? Aaron Jernigan and Stina Lynn are wild souls who met on a little farm in Haiku, Hawai’i, over a decade ago. Seeing as they both had the same taste in music, they decided to start singing tunes together at parties and potlucks. After a successful run with their band Flat Jackson, Aaron and Stina started Rowdy Love. With the new band behind them, Clint Bleifus (rhythm and lead guitars), Jonas Troxell (Bass), and Paul Gilespie (Drums), they have created a unique but familiar sound that can best be described as a Rockabilly-Americana mash-up with the energy of punk and the subtle undertones of ska. They have built a Rockabilly powerhouse that will turn any event into a dancehall, shakedown, hootenanny… And donʻt forget to bring your dancing shoes!
Get ready for a day of Rockabilly Americana that will have you on the dance floor! Rowdy Love has been packing venues and dance floors with every show they’ve done, gaining new fans of all ages along the way. They have even recently started their own annual festival on Maui called “Rowdy Fest.”

ABOUT SGT SPLENDOR
Before joining forces, the duo behind Sgt. Splendor were already formidable solo artists, Kate Vargas chalking up acclaim at outlets like NPR, HuffPost, American Songwriter, Rolling Stone and Vice (including praise from the “Dean of American Rock Critics” Robert Christgau); and Eric McFadden amassing an impressive resume including stints on guitar with George Clinton & the P-Funk All Stars, Anders Osbourne, Karl Denson, Stockholm Syndrome, and Eric Burdon & The Animals, plus a slew of solo albums, and session work with everyone from Jackson Browne to The Clash’s Joe Strummer.
“One of the most unique bands to come out of the new millennium is the contrasting duo of Sgt. Splendor. The group consists of singer/songwriter/guitarist/flautist Kate Vargas, and her partner in crime, guitarist/vocalist Eric McFadden (George Clinton & P-Funk, Eric Burdon, Les Claypool, etc)…is this an album for the masses?… yes. Yet it is even more so an album for the music aficionados who understand and appreciate in-depth, heavy songwriting, wrapped in a blanket of heavy Blues and Rock music that holds its own against anything you can throw at it.” – Tone Scott / GOLDMINE Magazine 2024

ABOUT SWING STAR
Swing Star’s originality stems from being collective stars. Like an astute big band, Swing Star’s musicians are equally luminescent. At any moment, a guitar, clarinet, or bass will take center stage.
One moment, the twin tickling of guitars traipsed through the streets of pre-WWII Paris, the next, a bustle of Latin licks spawned sounds hotter than a molten Brazilian night.
Guitarist Steve Elliott became smitten with and inspired by Django’s music and guitar mastery. Shortly after moving from Southern California to Maui, he started searching for like-minded musicians.
It wasn’t long after that when Michael Guzalak (clarinet, tenor sax, vocal, percussion) joined in, after working in a similar style band, One Leg UP, for 15 years in Asheville, NC.
The band is driven on the low end by bassist David Graber, or Ganis, perhaps the finest bass players on Maui, and a joy to hear.
The newest member, Bita Fonseca, is an extraordinary Brazilian guitarist the bring an authentic sound to the different styles of Latin and world music covered by the band.
Accessible to even the most discerning ear, Swing Star cozies comfortably with large crowds or the most minuscule of private parties. Their blissful sounds spill onto the dance floor, creating an infectious aura that can arouse the dancer in everyone.
