The Brown Boys — Karl Zinsman, Damon Williams and Leki Ma‘ave — will play songs from their self-titled breakout album as well as some of Hawaii’s favorites. This contemporary Hawaiian music group embodies the stylings of Kalapana, Hapa, Kapena and other beloved Hawaiian musical icons.

Tickets for both shows are $18 for VAC members, $20 nonmembers. Ticket holders will be able to purchase beer from Mehana Brewing Co. as well as wine from Grapes A Wine Store before each performance. Pupu by ‘Ohelo Café also will be available for purchase.

Tickets are available at the VAC gallery in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park or at the door.
