Highlights of Nor-Cal Tour with the Kanekoa band from Maui

  • The July 12-20, 2025 Nor-Cal Kanekoa consisted of the following members:

  • Kanalua Kenekoa — rhythm ukulele and lead vocals

  • Don Lopez — short-scale electric bass

  • Vince Esquire — lead ukulele

  • Steve La Porta — cajon and percussion

    Each of the six shows was sold out, including, 500 people at the Junction in Mill Valley, and a record-crowd of more than 1,000 at Menke Park in Corte Madera. It was truly an honor to play with these fine and talented gentlemen, in front of their loving fans.

    Their unique brand of ukulele-powered jam rock kept folks at the edge of their seats all night long for every show.

  • July 12 — two shows at the Pono Hawain Grill in Santa Cruz

  • July 16 — The Junction in Mill Valley

  • July 18 — the Backroom in Berkeley
