Josh Tatofi returns to the Blue Note stage to celebrate the club's 10-year anniversary. Catch two nights of the beloved singer-songwrtier who has become known as "Polynesian Luther Vandross," bringing the aloha spirit to a global audience through his captivating performances.

The Record Company was born out of a late-night hang in 2011, when Chris Vos (vocals, guitar), Alex Stiff (bass, backing vocals), and Marc Cazorla (drums, backing vocals) spun classic blues records like John Lee Hooker’s Hooker ’N Heat and swapped stories of their favorite concerts (Iggy Pop & The Stooges, among them). Energized by the evening, the three musicians reconvened the next day for a jam session at Stiff’s Los Feliz home. Before long, his living room would become the band’s epicenter as they wrote songs, performed for friends, and, eventually, recorded and mixed their debut album, "Give It Back to You."

Blending the soul of Delta blues with the power of classic rock and roll, the trio recorded much of the album live, giving songs like“Off the Ground,” “Rita Mae Young,” and “On the Move” a raw, immediate feel. They also incorporated slideguitar, pedal steel, piano, and harmonica, showcasing both their range and reverence for tradition while infusing it with modern energy.

For over 15 years, The Green has been a cornerstone of the reggae music scene, seamlessly blending island roots with global appeal. Based in Hawaii, the band has become one of the most beloved and influential acts to emerge from the islands, pioneering U.S. mainland tours and sharing stages with reggae legends like Rebelution, Iration, SOJA, and Jamaica’s own Damian Marley. Their widespread acclaim caught the attention of Grammy-winning superstar Bruno Mars, who invited them to open for his sold-out shows at Honolulu’s Blaisdell Arena in 2014 and Hawaii’s iconic Aloha Stadium in 2018.

With themes of family, resilience, and unity woven into their music, The Green has cultivated a devoted global fanbase. Classics like "All I Need," "Love I," and "Wake Up" continue to resonate with long-time listeners, while collaborations with artists such as J Boog on tracks like "Feelings," "Never Give Up," and "Fire up Di Roses" draw in new audiences. Their recent collab, Day by Day, featuring fellow Hawaii artist Kolohe Kai, celebrates the Aloha spirit and furthers their mission of spreading positivity.
