Join us for maoli roots music by the dynamic group Kupa'āina (Simple Island People), self-described as: "From Waianae to Kahalu'u, from the island of Kaua'i and Honshu, to the Kingdom of Tonga, from roots deep in the 'āina to seeds newly planted by immigrants, Kupa'āina has a deep reverence for the land of Hawai'i and a global ancestral heritage. Seven people who love the traditional Hawaiian sound drink deep from a calabash of cultures and influences...The genesis of Kupa'āina's style lay in its common love for traditional Hawaiian music. This expanded into creative explorations into and inspirations from Polynesian, rock and roll, reggae, funk, Latin, ska, hip-hop and other influences. While eclectic, Kupa'āina's music remains rooted in the local experience, history and culture."

Doors open at 6:30pm, located at Christ Church Uniting, 1300 Kailua Rd. Bring your family and friends, and a lawn chair and picnic, to enjoy an evening on the lawn (with rain location in the Sanctuary).

Vespers on the Lānai is a casual event combining great music with an opportunity for spiritual reflection; this FREE, family-friendly, music series happens every other month on the 2nd Friday. Featuring a different musical genre at each event, interspersed briefly with poetry and contemplative readings, we’ll think broadly together and folks of all faiths (or no faith in particular) and all ages should feel welcome.

Christ Church Uniting is an inclusive, progressive community of faith seeking spiritual growth and working for justice.
