WAILUKU — The Hawaiian Music Series concert for December will take place on Thursday, Dec. 28, at 6 p.m. at Hale Ho’ike’ike at the Bailey House Museum in Wailuku. This free event will feature well-known musicians Wilson Kanaka’ole and Jarret Roback.

Kanaka’ole, a guitarist and vocalist, grew up in Lahaina, attended the University of Hawai’i Maui College’s Institute of Hawaiian Music and has appeared on records by the Barefoot Natives and other island musicians.

He comes from a family of talented musicians, including his father, Eric Kanaka’ole, and uncle, the late ‘ukulele legend Nelson Waikiki.

Roback was born on Oahu and moved to Maui in 1969. A singer and guitarist, he has been in the Maui music scene for more than 25 years, partnering with some of the finest musicians in Hawai’i, such as John and Ernie Cruz Jr., Sistah Robi Kahakalau and Lehua Kalima.

He is also a dedicated firefighter and has been with Maui Fire Department for over 30 years, following the footsteps of his father, who was both a policeman and musician as well.

This free concert has been a tradition for 15 years. It is held on the last Thursday of every month and made possible by Lahaina Restoration Foundation with support from the Maui County Office of Economic Development. The special location is kindly provided by Maui Historical Society.

Bring your own blankets, mats and low-back beach chairs to enjoy the music on the lawn. Free parking is available onsite.
