AG Presents and Casanova Makawao are excited to welcome Benny Uyetake + Friends to the “Sundays in the Country” Aloha Music Series at Cassanovas in Beautiful Makawao!!
Benny welcomes Wilson Kanakaole, Brian Haia, and Hula by Wailani .
Uncle Benny Uyetake is a Hawaiian treasure, who plays across all genres of music!! Benny will introduce you to the new sounds from the islands and transport you to old Hawaiʻi as he hosts upcoming artists and Hawaiʻi’s legends. Benny welcomes Wilson Kanakaole and Brian Haia and Hula dancing from Polynesian Dancer & Cultural Ambassador, Wailani Mulvihill.
Benny Uyetake has played with some of the world’s finest musicians on Maui and while touring. Over the years Benny has shared the stage with some of Hawaiʻi’s greatest trailblazers like Uncle Willie K and Barry Flanagan of HAPA, as well as the world’s most talented jazz players Les McCann, Russel Malone, and Donald Harrison. His versatility comes from his years of musical study in different genres with mentors in classical, jazz, Hawaiian, Blues, and rock.
Wilson Kanaka’ole, a guitarist and vocalist, grew up in Lahaina, attended the University of Hawai’i Maui College’s Institute of Hawaiian Music and has appeared on records by the Barefoot Natives and other island musicians. He comes from a family of talented musicians, including his father, Eric Kanaka’ole, and uncle, the late ‘ukulele legend Nelson Waikiki.
Born and raised on the island of Oʻahu, Wailani Mulvihill began her hula journey at the tender age of three. With nearly six decades of dance experience, her love and dedication to the art of hula and Polynesian dance have taken her across the world — from the shores of Kaʻanapali and Wailea to the stages of Japan, Hong Kong, Germany, Switzerland, France, Belgium, and throughout the United States.
