Come discover a new favorite, celebrate the artists you love, and experience the sound of the 808 — live from the Atherton.
- November 7 @ 6 p.m.: Honeyfingers - GET TICKETS
A longtime fixture of New York’s music scene, Jonny has built a career around his extraordinary touch, tone, and deep devotion to the music. His band Honeyfingers was a New York fixture, earning a New York Times description that says it all: “Pristine honky tonk.” Now based in Hawaiʻi, Jonny brings Honeyfingers to the Atherton for an entire set dedicated to the steel guitar — kicking off a month of eclectic sounds, artists, and community with Celebrate 808. November 14 @ 6 p.m.: Maryanne Ito - GET TICKETS
From Soul and R&B to Jazz, Hip-Hop and Reggae, Maryanne Ito brings a uniquely Hawaiʻi-rooted sound to the Atherton. The Honolulu-raised singer has spent her career pushing across genres, pairing a rich, textured voice with music that explores love, life and the everyday experiences that connect us all.- November 21 @ 6 p.m.: Skullboy with special guest Completely Insane - GET TICKETS
We’re closing out Celebrate 808 with a night of fast, fun, unapologetically punk rock music featuring two local bands from Hawaiʻi’s punk and ska scene. Local party-punk favorites Skullboy take the stage as our headlining act, bringing their high-energy mix of punk, ska and alternative sounds to Atherton. Joining them for the other half of the evening are Completely Insane, local legends of the genre and longtime contributors to Hawaiʻi’s punk scene at this standing-room event.
