Taimane & Her Trio – SOLD OUT

AG Presents and Mulligans On The Blue are excited to welcome world-class ukulele virtuoso and entertainer Taimane to the Mulligans Music Box as part of our Aloha Music Series.  In addition to her shredding and stage prowess, Taimane is also a prolific songwriter and accomplished musical theatre producer, selling out Hawai‘i Theatre last August with her original show ‘Hawaiki -A Musical & Theatrical Odyssey’. It’s been five years since Taimane has played on Maui, and we are honored to have her and her band join us for an unforgettable evening.

Doors/Dinner Seating: 5pm

Show Starts: 7:30pm

Virtuoso and songwriter, Taimane, is best known for her fierce and inventive style of playing the ukulele helping the hapa Samoan(part Caucasian and part indigenous Samoan) artist earn four Nā Hōkū Hanohano awards and garner over 50 million video views and nearly 500,000 social media followers to date. Hailing from a musical Polynesian family including her late mother, Palepa TauiliiliGardner (Miss Samoa 1978), Taimane’s attraction to the four-string island staple began at age 5. By age 10, she regularly performed in public, busking in Waikiki every Friday night with her father holding down security duties and Waikiki Beach Boys (adults whose home & workplace was the beach) serving as her band. By age 13, Taimane landed a position in Don Ho’s show literally playing in the spotlight every week until Ho’s passing. Fast forward to today, and you have an artist who tours the world and has carved out a unique niche in music – merging a wide array of genres, from Bach to rock, flamenco infernos to tribal hymns, summoning a seemingly limitless palette of emotions via an instrument previously viewed as restricted.

“A phenomenally talented ukulele virtuoso, Taimane has developed a flamenco-inspired strumming technique that is breathtaking.” – Jon Woodhouse, The Maui News

Taimane rocks the stage with a sensual vibrancy and a white hot talent that captivates and beguiles!”—Pierce Brosnan (aka 007)

“If you didn’t know ukulele virtuosity is a thing, get on board. Taimane Gardner is not just in her own league on the instrument; she’s a captivating performer as well. And on top of that, she’s a masterful songwriter and interpreter. Ukulele, meet your triple threat.” – Grammy.com
