Overview

Polynesian music, featuring live Hawaiian music.
Also, Classic Light Rock, Classic Country, 50s, Folk. Acoustic or One Man Band.

Being from Hawaii, whether we play a corporate event, a luau at a home, or a restaurant/bar, we mix it up. I'll include American music - songs that everyone will recognize, sing along with, dance, to, etc.

Besides my acoustic guitar, slack key guitar, and ukulele, I'll also bring my lap steel, fiddle, and harmonica.

My song list contains about 300 songs.

Wonderful Experience

Ikaika arrived early, and performed beautifully at our 3rd annual charity fund raiser "Blue Hawaii". He was very professional and a great person to work with. I highly recommend him to anyone that is considering having authentic Hawiian entertainment at their venue.

About

Aloha,
Ikaika will provide live, authentic, traditional Hawaiian music for any event, including company parties, backyard luaus, birthday parties, pool parties, and anything else under the sun.

I'm Ikaika, I've been playing Hawaiian music (among other types of music) since I was 12 years old, and have been a full time, employed musician in the Hawaiian, Classic Light Rock, and Country styles. I've played all over the world, including many U.S. cities and towns, England, and South America.

Additional booking notes

Ikaika will provide any and all sound system requirements, all I need is a 110v outlet on or near the stage. Please, no direct sunlight on the stage where the expensive and fragile instruments are. We need ample space for the musician and sound system - no less than 15 feet across and 10 feet deep.
