Music scene · Lahaina

Lahaina is a historic coastal town on Maui where Hawaiian music at hotels and restaurants, slack-key guitar, and church choirs shape the local sound. School programs and community hula events keep island music present for residents and visitors.

Hotel and restaurant stages, church fellowship halls, the high school auditorium, and community centers are the practical venues. Park pavilions host outdoor Hawaiian music gatherings and community events.

Local and regional artists perform in Lahaina, with musicians from the nearby Kahului and Maui scene occasionally passing through.

Musicians can connect with school music programs, church choirs, or hotel restaurant managers for performance opportunities. Paid work is limited, so many players also look toward Kahului or Wailea for additional gigs.
