TAVANA IS BACK!
AG Presents and Mulligans on the Blue are excited to welcome Tavana back to the Mulligans Music Box as part of the Aloha Music Series on Wednesday, July 10th. Dinner seating starts at 5:30pm and the show begins at 7pm.
Tavana is a multi-instrumentalist, one-man-wrecking-crew who uses his feet to lay down a variety of grooves while simultaneously playing guitar, banjo, dobro, lap steel, or ukulele and sings soulful, island-inspired Rock and Blues. Tavana is also a multi Nā Hōkū Hanohano nominee in several genres.
Tavana has monthly sell-out residencies across the state of Hawaii at the Blue Note Waikiki and Mulligans Music Box in Wailea, Maui. Many amazing players have sat in with him to jam, including Mike Love, Henry Kapono, G Love, Ron and Thunderstorm Artis, John Cruz, Leonn Mobely and more.
Tavana was also a featured artist at two of Uncle Willie K’s BBQ Bluesfests, heʻs also opened and jammed with Jack Johnson at the Waikiki Shell. He is currently featured on an in-flight video on all Hawaiian Airlines, was a featured artist on Henry Kapono’s “The Songs of C&K”, and is also a featured “Playing for Change” artist.
Tavana has toured with, and recorded with Eddie Vedder (Pearl Jam). In 2009, Eddie Vedder invited Tavana to sing ‘Hawaii 78’ – a Hawaii anthem of sorts – with him at the Hawaii Theatre. From a recording of their performance together, Vedder produced a limited vinyl record that was sent out to 10,000 Pearl Jam fans. Vedder also took Tavana out on tour for several dates as his opening act for his solo album.
Tavana has been the supporting act for Willie Nelson, Alabama Shakes, Shakey Graves, Xavier Rudd, Jenny Lewis, Julian Marley, Donovan Frankenreiter, and Nickleback to name just a few.
Premium Tickets range from $35 to $25 and are avaiable as table purchases. General admission tickets are $20 and available as a single ticket purchase. Dinner seating starts at 5:30pm and the show begins at 7pm.
“He’s more the exception than the rule, he is a great human and I’m glad to know him” —Eddie Vedder
“Tavana is a man on a mission and big opportunities await his arrival. As a human being and friend, Tavana’s a chill guy, honest and easygoing. I believe he’s on the edge of going big.” — Henry Kapono
