New Music Out from Josh Tatofi! He said in a statement: "“I just wanted to release an island reggae song since I haven’t done that in a while. Don’t worry I’m still gonna record more Hawaiian songs in the future, but the fans have been messaging me on my social media platforms and I always get asked if I can record more reggae tunes. I’m the kind of guy who tries to give the fans what they want and all I can hope is that they love it.”

Hear her journey and how she has been the first Polynesian woman in several instances of her work and who inspired her to get there.�Since this interview, Kekepania has been nominated for an Emmy & Screen Actors Guild Award for her work in “The Matrix Resurrections”

Youʻve heard the stories of Iolani Sportswear. Grandfather served as part of the 442nd in WWII. ʻIolani would begin in 1953, would continue with son Lloyd and his wife Carla and now with grandson Alx and wife Sarah.

I have had the pleasure of associating with Lloyd and his sons while part of Manoa DNA while in radio and wearing their wonderful designs while emceeing many events across the island of Oʻahu!
First about their aloha shirts. I grew so attached to their fashions over the years. From beautiful aloha shirts to their line that is like “dry-fit” material. SO easy to use. Never wrinkles and dries so easy. Doesnʻt fade. Cool to wear in hot conditions. Crinkle in a ball, throw in your bag, take it out, shake it out and put it on. Iʻve NEVER had shirts that are so easy to use and look so good.
Letʻs also talk about the family. Local Hawaii family that business wise does what they say, helps where they can and understands supporting local. When they said they are going to do a business reset, I was bummed because that meant I wouldnʻt find shirts EASY that fit well and work for any kind of events 24-7. However knowing how they are, I know that it will be made well, and there will be some way to still wear their products.
Their website has sh*ts that are discounted as they move to the new direction that they will take as a company. Please support them and canʻt wait to see what ʻIolani will do next!!

OMF* #$)*G. What is this?! I know I was headlong into Hawaiian music, but I canʻt believe I never heard this before. I was a big Beach Boys fan back in the day. Loved the harmonies. Loved the sounds of the beach music. So when I heard this done in Country music style (I went thru an 8 month Country music binge in my early teens) I was blown away. Found it was in 1996. The singer is so spot on with her vocals. Canʻt believe I didnʻt hear this one. AND hearing the BBoys harmonies again was just damn chicken skin. For some reason I saw a pretty country singer with Beach Boys?! and I clicked. Iʻve listened and sang with song 7 times now. Played the bass part 4 times. Iʻm smiling tonight. Love finding music like this. I went thru a Beatles phase (NOTHING but Beatles for 6 months). An Eagles phase for 4 months...all before high school. Hawaiian music started in my high school years, but C&K started a lot earlier ;). Sorry just reminiscing

The fabulous Beach Boys with the gorgeous Lorrie Morgan, singing Don't Worry Baby. This version is already on You Tube, but the sync is out between the video...

So...if you have nothing better to do Wednesday evening starting at 4:00pm HT or you want to yell and throw things at your computer monitor, come on by! See you on the show! Gotta go dig up old radio pics.

Hawaii plays today in the 2021 NCAA MVB National Championship! It all boils down to today. Six seniors said at the beginning of the season, they had "unfinished business" and they have been blazing all season. Today be bold, be strong, be akamai, but above all trust in your training, your experience and be you. We are proud of you. You are WARRIORS.
