Mai Tai. Music. Magical Sunsets. Pakini Bar and Lounge at Embassy Suites by Hilton Waikiki Beach Walk has all the ingredients for paradise perfection. Order a tropical drink, sit back and relax in the poolside pavilion, and take in tunes from local Hawai‘i musicians every Thursday through Sunday from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Here's the lowdown on this month's live music line-up and a chance to get to know the melody makers.
Thursdays – Shawn Garnett
You may recognize this Hawaiian born-and-raised singer/songwriter, radio personality and actor from his reoccurring role as Cousin Flippa on Hawaii 5-0 and Magnum P.I. At Pakini Bar, Shawn will surprise you with his smooth island vibes and original music, plus an unforgettable personality.
Fridays & Saturdays – Deven Camat
Hooked on music since he learned to play the ‘ukulele at 6-years-old, Deven credits his biggest music inspiration to his youth GLEE club. Come listen to the strong vocals of this stylish, O‘ahu-raised musician and make sure to request a Bruno Mars song, which is one of his specialties.
Sundays – Kree Kahoa and Malik P.
With Kree on vocals and Malik on guitar, this duo pulls inspiration from a variety of genres, such as reggae, R&B, country and pop. Expect to hear Kree's latest singles and impressive riffs from Malik who's proficient in too many instruments to count. Think: guitar, piano, bass, violin and ‘ukulele.
Hot Tip: We're celebrating big the week of March 27 with live music every evening from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Mark your calendars!
