Reggae is one of the most dominant musical influences in Hawai`i---and this weekend two of the biggest names in the field return to the state. Inner Circle and Ziggy Marley will be playing live… and both spoke with HPR. Dave Lawrence talked with Inner Circle’s Roger Lewis about his band’s first visit to the islands.

This weekend alternative rockers Switchfoot play the islands. The band has a decidedly spiritual side, as HPR’s Dave Lawrence found out when he got a call from their front man and guitarist Jon Foreman, who shared details of his last trip to Hawai`i.

This weekend Hawai`i favorite Jimmy Buffett is back. HPR’s Dave Lawrence got a call from his longtime keyboardist and Music Director Michael Utley, who, prior to joining Jimmy’s Coral Reefer Band, got experience playing with some other legendary artists, including one with long connections to Hawai`i.

With all the bad weather we're having statewide, HPR's Dave Lawrence connected with U.S. Coast Guard Petty Officer Anthony Soto for an update.

On May 22nd, music legend Smokey Robinson returns to the islands for a single show in Honolulu. In advance of the concert, HPR’s Dave Lawrence spoke to him.
