Kanekoa has been playing together since 1999, melding elements of Hawaiian, Rock, Folk, Blues, Reggae, and improvisation into a truly unique sound. Kanekoa consists of Kaulana Kanekoa (rhythm ukulele, lead vocals, lyrics), Vince Esquire (lead ukulele, backing vocals, sounds), Travis Rice (Cajon/congas, kit, electric pads, backing vocals), and Don Lopez (u-bass, electric bass, backing vocals).
