Hard to believe on this warm & sunny September day, but the holiday season will soon be upon us, and Na Leo Lani is already getting ready with the third year of SWUFTH: Sing With Us for the Holidays! The acronym may be awkward, but the sound is pure harmony.

If you love crooning Christmas carols or find yourself singing along (despite yourself!) with the holiday soundtrack at Longs, this program is for you.

The men are putting on a show!

The annual concert of our brother barbershop chorus, Sounds of Aloha, is just two weeks away, and if you love hearing those down-low male voices as well as the mellifluous tones of tenors with testosterone, then hurry to the Sounds of Aloha website and get tickets!

Intriguingly titled “THE Final Encore of the Gray Guardians!”, the performance will feature caped crusaders, superheroes, and other favorite male fantasies — all with a wink and a smile. They will be joined by gold medal winning quartet, Main Street!

When? Saturday, August 24, 2024, 7:04 p.m. – 9:04 p.m.
