Kepa currently serves as a Hawaiian Language Communications Specialist for Maui County. He has been playing Hawaiian music since the age of 13 and considers it one of his greatest inspirations – a vital connection to his kūpuna and to the ʻāina.

“The overwhelming response to our first show back in Lahaina reminded us how deeply our community cherishes this 18-year tradition,” said Theo Morrison, executive director of the foundation. “It also highlighted the beauty and importance of walking the path of recovery together. The Lahaina Restoration Foundation remains committed to bringing our community together through mele, and celebrating the incredible talent of our local performers.”

The Hawaiian Music Series is made possible through the support of the Maui County Office of Economic Development, with Waiola Church kindly hosting the series for 2026.
