Hapa Tickets

Great band with an elegant dancer . Loved the music great idea to play the 1st album in its entirety.

If you have not seen Hapa you are missing a great band and performance. Like always the informal setting and flow of the band and music makes it truly wonderful. True Aloha spirit could be felt

Hapa is an amazing little band of 3 very talented musicians, along with an elegant and very graceful hula dancer! They were all superb, and the lead singer and guitarist is absolutely phenomenal. They performed nonstop for nearly 2 hours with one enchanting and uplifting sog after another. For me, it was a dream come true- I'd been wanting to go to The Birchmere for 40 years, and then to hear such a wonderful band of Hawaiian music, which I love, was a real unforgettable treat!

A well done show by a veteran duo. Unexpected bonus was some hulu dancers and a young ukelele player and singer which added color to the show. Barry Flanagan's guitar virtuoso was showcased, however I thought he often exaggerated his special effects and generally over-powered his partner's more laid back style. He also often referred to the track numbers on their CDs before or after playing a song, waving the CD around, which I found distracting. This was my first Hapa concert although I have enjoyed their music for many years after discovering their music while in Hawaii. I love their slack key and Hawaiian style songs but they lose me fast with the rap or techno stuff.

I loved them. First time to see them for me, would go as many times as possible. This us very intimate felt like we were part of the family. I was amazed at their skills with their instruments I did not know you could do so much with a guitar. Adian James a 10 year old played with them and he was great, they looked like he was a family member being mentored,

To be lost in feelings of belonging, Hawaiian tradition, extraordinary guitar, slack key at its best, Hula that was lithe, luxurious and mesmerizing, Bob Dylan, John Lennon, Adele, and Whitney Huston, a little 10 year old pistol and an audience in love was Hapa at the Aladdin. The event surrounded me with feelings, memories and hope. Thanks for bringing them here.

Really enjoyed Hapa at the Alladin theater. Ron and Barry are amazing musicians and bring the touch of Hawaii that we've been missing. Beautiful hula dancing. Lilting, lyrical songs mixed with hard rocking guitar and ukelele solos. They involved the crowd and local hula dancers. The newest band memebr, Ron, has a beautiful singing voice. The one thing that I didn't understand was a 10 y/o musician brought on stage for a few numbers. It seemed his ukelele playing was good but the songs he chose and his not-quite-developed voice made me feel like I was at a school recital. Touching tributes to bandmate Charles Ka'upu who has been to Portland many times and delighted us all.

Always love them but sure miss Nathan Aweau. He was so great on vocals. I think the show was a little anemic and it hurts to say so but they need to bring it a little better. I have seen them many times before and this time it was a little disjointed and although a cute little child guest performer, I didn't come to see him and wish they would have played more leaving the little guy to YouTube. They really need some percussion and bass. That is what we hear when we listen to their recordings and we expect that lush sound. C'mon Barry, you guys have ton of heart and you always make time to visit with your fans after your shows, but we need that lush depth of music that brought us to you. I will always be a fan, and always recommend them but just needed a little better sound/performance. Mahalo

The act(s) were great, the Al Kabang brought some life to a limited performance musically. The hula dancer was exquisite - as the warm-up act and the leis for sale in the lobby. Hapa is as always consumate performers, it was just too bad that the sound crew did not take any time to allow them to adjust their amps/volume, so the beautiful sound was 'overblown' until the end of the performance. Thank God too -- the performers kept their liberal left-wing political remarks to themselves --- this time.

was not impressed. sounded like they were out of key and just jamin"
