Kanekoa, one of Hawaii’s premier live music experiences, is paying tribute to The Allman Brothers at The Junction this Tuesday.
Playing what is described as “ukulele-powered Hawaiian jam-rock,” Kanekoa's music is based on the untapped potential of the electrified Hawaiian ukulele. Guided by the culture and land of Hawai‘i, the band is right at home playing any type of genre from traditional Hawaiian to 80’s Pop to Jamband Blues, uniquely offering their signature electric ukulele sound to everything they play. Wherever this band plays people are mesmerized, they have caught the ear of some of the biggest names in music including Mick Fleetwood, Los Lobos, and Bill Kreutzman from the Grateful Dead who even called Kanekoa, “The Hawaiian Grateful Dead”.
