The group includes star Hawaiian steel guitar player Justin Firmeza and PJ Landeza on bass guitar. Come celebrate an evening of Hawaiian music, hula and aloha!

About Patrick Landeza & SonsA native Hawaiian who was raised on the mainland, Patrick Landeza found his roots in the music shared with him by his mother, Frances Kawaipūloʻu Kuakini OʻSullivan Landeza. The songs that she taught him were songs that she learned growing up in Hoʻolehua on the island of Molokaʻi. The music filled cultural gaps left by his childhood in California, providing a firm foundation upon which he built his musical career. The music he grew up listening to connecting Patrick with some of kī hōʻalu’s (slack key guitar’s) most legendary names: Cyril Pahinui, Raymond Kāne, George Kuo, and Dennis Kamakahi. Under their tutelage, Patrick’s style of music became firmly rooted in slack-key. Now a father of 5, it’s Landeza’s turn to follow in his mother’s footsteps and share the songs of his heritage with the next generation. His son, PJ Landeza and his hānai son, Justin Firmeza regularly tour with Patrick.
Pre-concert Workshop at 7PM: Slack & Steel: Hawaiian Steel and Slack Key Guitar Workshop w/ Justin Firmeza and Patrick LandezaJustin and Patrick demonstrate the dynamics of these two unique Hawaiian styles of playing; steel guitar and slack key guitar. This will be both a hands-on and wala`au (discussion) session so feel free to bring an instrument. Justin Firmeza is one of the young up-and-coming steel players. His unique style blends jazz and western swing along with sacred steel. Justin is currently a jazz major at San Jose State University and teaches music part-time at Moreau Catholic High School.

Soulful, bluesy singer-songwriter gaining national attention for his TV soundtrack hits. His recent album, American Silence earned rave reviews from NPR Music, Rolling Stone and many more.
Dubbed “one of the most important American songwriters working today,” by 88.5 KCSN Los Angeles, Chris Pierce rose to international prominence when NBC primetime series This Is Us featured his song We Can Always Come Back To This. The single then reached #1 on the Billboard Blues chart and was nominated for several awards.

With his raw acoustic accompaniment and his unmistakably heartwrenching vocals, he aims to unite his listeners, inspiring them to rise up and stand for what is right.
Pierce was diagnosed at 15 with Otosclerosis, a rare hearing disorder that caused him to lose his hearing in one ear and become partially deaf in the other. In spite of this, his passion for music only grew and inspired him to dig deeper in his skills. Thanks to his determination, he has had the honor of performing with many incredible artists including Al Green, B.B. King, Aaron Neville and Seal, and will be on tour this fall with Neil Young.
