2026 will officially mark 29years of ukulele innovators, Kanekoa, the band of limitless possibilities. Kanekoa is one of Hawaii’s premier live music experiences, consistently selling out shows wherever they perform. Playing what is described as “ukulele-powered Hawaiian jam-rock,” their sound is based on the untapped potential of the electrified Hawaiian ukulele. Guided by the culture and land of Hawai‘i, Kanekoa 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 called Kanekoa, “The Hawaiian Grateful Dead”. With every show they play, Kanekoa continues to gain new loyal fans. To hear this band, and the music that comes from their four strings…is to love this band.

The last two nights have been filled with great music, great people, and plenty of aloha. 🎶🤙
Last night we had the pleasure of performing at the incredible Mountain Music Parlor in Reno, Nevada—a one-of-a-kind venue filled with music history, vintage treasures, art, and stories around every corner.
Tonight we shared songs, laughs, and new friendships at The Strum Shop in Roseville, California, where a ukulele workshop quickly turned into a room full of people making music together.
Mahalo to everyone who came out, played along, and welcomed us so warmly. These moments of connection are what make life on the road so special.
A special thank you to Mountain Music Parlor, The Strum Shop, and our sponsors Kala Brand Music, Smooth Moves, 808 Lifestyle & Safety Magazine, and Nalu’s South Shore Grill for supporting live music and music education.
Where should Kanekoa visit next? 🌺🚐
