World Music in United StatesHawaiian entertainers in the United States bring the authentic sounds and cultural traditions of the Pacific Islands to events, featuring the gentle melodies of ukulele, the distinctive tones of steel guitar and the graceful movements of traditional hula dance. These performers specialise in creating tropical atmospheres that suit luaus, summer parties and beach or poolside weddings.
These Hawaiian acts typically come in three formats: a solo or duo ukulele act for background music and acoustic sets, a small band with steel guitar and bass for fuller sound, or a band paired with one or more hula dancers for a complete show. Some acts also offer a brief lei greeting on arrival or short audience hula lessons. Set lengths usually run 45 minutes for background music through to multi-set evening performances, with most acts bringing their own PA for outdoor and smaller indoor venues.
Rates for Hawaiian entertainment in the United States currently range from about $80 to $1,050+, with an average booking cost of $350. Solo ukulele performers and acoustic island musicians sit at the most accessible pricing tier, while full Hawaiian bands featuring multiple instruments, traditional costumes and hula dancers command higher rates. An act based closer to your venue may quote less for travel, while performers from the islands themselves may charge more for their cultural expertise and training.
The average price is $350 (USD), with most priced from $80 to $1,050+. Contact the supplier you like for an accurate quote.

Island Jams Productions
"We are extremely thrilled with our outcomes using Island Jams. They were responsive, flexible and Aaron was as advertised. His talents were top notch and he was willing to work with us on our schedule and so easy to work with. He came on time, prepared and was ready go a little early and stayed a little later than scheduled. We would definitely use Island Jams in the future and recommend to anyone and everyone looking for an option for Hawaiian music!"

Review:
Palika Hawaiian Band is amazing. They sure know how to engage the guest and WOW us with their fluidity in song and dance. They would be my first go to when hiring for a Luau. I used them for a corporate event and would use them for a personal event with confidence. Mahalo Pat!
