As my time on "Stories" draws to a close (next week is my last show) I find myself reflecting back through what an incredible time I have had in the Hawaii music scene. I have played in folk, noise, indie-pop and electro groups. I have been very lucky to have been a part of this scene. I can say without a doubt that Honolulu's music scene is more suppportive, welcoming, and community-based than any other that I've known. People are influenced by music that never gets played on the mainland, and this makes music here incredibly unique.
And with that in mind, here are some local bands I wanted to share with you!
