KAHULUI–North Shore Creative Agency, Aloha Growers, is excited to announce the new partnership with Oahu’s multi-instrumentalist, Tavana. AG Presents has the honor of hosting Tavana at Mulligans On The Blue and is thrilled to be able to work with him on reaching larger audiences throughout the United States.

Tavana will take his new single ‘In the Water’, on his first tour of California’s West Coast with stops in Napa, Half Moon Bay, Morro Bay, Santa Barbara, and San Diego.

‘In the Water’ was written for and is dedicated to everyone impacted by the fires in Lahaina. Tavana has precious memories of walking down Front St. in Lahaina Town with his father which was such a special place that seemed to be frozen in time.

On the night of August 8th, 2023, he watched in horror as so many took refuge in the water just to survive. He saw the Aloha Spirit play out in real-time in the days that followed as the whole island chain came together to lend a helping hand. He worked on this song with his longtime friend and accomplished producer, Leslie Ludiazo.

They wanted to make something that people could sing, remember, and honor the brave people of Maui. This song is more than just a song, it also serves as a conduit to rebuild. Proceeds from the single sales will go directly to those affected by the fire.
