The Ritz-Carlton Maui hosts March double-header for Kapalua Concert Series, March 6-7

The Ritz-Carlton Maui, Kapalua announced the next Kapalua Concert Series, featuring two incredible nights of live music at Alaloa Lounge.

On Thursday, March 6, acclaimed singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Ron Artis II will headline the evening along with ʻukulele master Kalei Gamiao. On Friday, March 7, Akoni Palomino will bring his signature blend of Hawaiian and reggae rhythms to the series. Both performances will take place from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Ron Artis II grew up in Hawaiʻi in a deeply musical family and is influenced by R&B, soul, gospel, and blues. His artistry and dynamic performances have earned him collaborations with music legends, including Mick Fleetwood, Jake Shimabukuro, Booker T. Jones, Eric Krasno (of Soulive and Lettuce), and G.
