John Cruz
​John is is a native of Oahu and played shows with the immensely popular band - the Ka'au Crater Boys - in the mid-90s alongside his brother Ernie. He went on to release his first album, 'Acoustic Soul' in 1996, which made an artistic and commercial impact like few other recordings in Hawaiian musical history.

Since then, John has recorded alongside Robert Plant and Allison Krauss, co-wrote a song with Trey Anastasio, played with Jack Johnson, had three of his songs featured on Kelly Slater's DVD 'Letting Go', and had his song 'Hi'ilawe' released on the official Hawaii Five-O soundtrack. His most recent album, 'One of These Days' debuted at #1 in Hawaii, #2 on the Billboard Heatseekers Chart, and #6 on the Billboard World Chart.

Dave Edery 
Tavana and Dave grew up and graduated together from Kaiser High School in Hawaii Kai and have been performing off and on together ever since. Since 2011 Tavana and Dave have played under the name 'Loco Mojo.' 

Mike Lewis
Mike is the Jazz Band Director at the University of Hawaii, and the creator and band leader of 'Big Band Monday' at Jazz Minds Honolulu. Fluent in jazz trumpet, lead trumpet, and recording studio work, his resume includes touring and recording with Buddy Rich, Sammy Davis, Sonny and Cher, Billy Joel, The Temptations, Tony Bennett, Gladys Knight, Bruno Bars - and most recently with Tavana on 'Aloha Spirt' on the song 'Sparrow'!!!

Keith Battlin
Keith is a frequent collaborator with Tavana having recording an album together under the name, 'The Batline McMoore Blues Experience' called 'Golden Road.' Keith is a guitar player and vocalist from Oahu.

Tommy Osuna
"Tommy the Swami" has a long and storied career having performed with the likes of Johnny Cash, Glen Campbell, and Jamaican Reggae legend, Earl "Chinna" Smith. On third album, 'Trippin,' Tommy enlisted rock/blues/funk legend Buddy Miles who was Jimi Hendrix's drummer in Band of Gypsies, as well as legendary bassist and film score-composer John Piscitello. The resulting album is nothing short of magic - smoking-hot guitar riffs and an almost too-solid bottom end. Tommy now lives on Oahu where he runs the Osuna School of Music

Zach Gray 
Zach currently performs with his band, 'Silver Chord' and is a frequent guest on Tavana Tuesday's. Born and raised in Hawaii Kai, the young rocker is wowing local audiences with guitar skills that are nothing short of incredible.

Lopaka Colon
Lopaka is a multi-instrument percussionist from Oahu who was the founder of Hoku Award winning group 'Pure Heart', performed on Henry Kapono's award winning album 'Wild Hawaiian', and frequently performs with various acts in and around Waikiki. 

Garrett 'Ane' Pessin
Garrett is a professional harmonica player originally from Washington State who now lives and performs on Oahu. He has toured extensively and is featured on 'Aloha Spirit' on the song 'Island Days.' 

Ryan Bramble
Ryan is a bass player from Honolulu, Hawaii that also happened to graduate in the same rockin' class as Tavana, Keith Battlin, and Dave Edery from Kaiser High School. He has frequently been featured alongside Tavana and performed on the album 'Golden Road' with Keith and Tavana as part of the 'Battlin McMoore Blues Experience.'
