An Evening with Kalani Peʻa and Taimane at Sony Hall in New York City 3-time GRAMMY award winner Kalani Peʻa and Hawai‘i’s 2023 and 2019 Favorite Entertainer of the Year Taimane take the stage at Sony Hall on Monday, January 13 for a night of innovation and tradition. Both Peʻa and Taimane are pushing the music of Hawaiʻi forward into the stratosphere, breaking glass ceilings while paying homage to the roots of their creations and wowing audiences around the world. Native Hawaiian Peʻa is a dynamic and charming performer with vocal brilliance and a wide range of songs and styles, from Hawaiian to Classical to R&B, that showcase his deep cultural roots and ‘Hawaiian contemporary soul’ sensibility. Peʻa just received his 4th Grammy nomination for his latest release “Kuini.” He is the only Hawaiʻi music artist nominated for the 2025 Best Regional Roots Music Album. Hapa Samoan (part indigenous Samoan and part Caucasian) Taimane is best known for her fierce and inventive style of playing the ukulele merging a wide-array of genres, from Bach to rock, flamenco infernos to tribal hymns, summoning a seemingly limitless palette of emotions via an instrument previously viewed as restricted. At Sony Hall, Peʻa and Taimane will share the stage for the first time ever, with Peʻa performing an opening set with his musical ensemble and dancers, Taimane performing a closing set with her band and dancer, and both collaborating during the show. |

Sweetcatch Poke At Sweetcatch Poke, we’ve made it our mission since we opened in 2016 to create the best-tasting poke from what nature has to offer—without compromise. Our secret? No shortcuts. Just straight-up, 100% real, fresh ingredients. We serve innovative, chef-crafted poke made fresh daily at our fast-casual restaurants with five Manhattan locations. We’re not like the average poke place — our poke is served up Hawaiian-style. We marinate our sustainable, sushi-grade fish, roasted chicken and organic tofu with housemade sauces, which makes for seriously flavor-packed poke. |
