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.

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'!!!

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
