Elijah Sky will kick off the July 5th First Friday street festival in the Pantheon Contemporary Art Hall. Fresh off the release of his latest single, he’s showing out to support the Hawai‘i Theatre’s new young professional’s group “The Agents.”

Singer, songwriter and multi-talented instrumentalist, Elijah Sky released his first solo album, Heart Over Hype, in September 2018. The 28-year-old Hawai’i native has music in his blood: he hails from from a long line of Hawaiian musicians, singers and dancers, including his grandmother, Irmgard Farden Aluli, one of the most beloved figures in Hawaiian popular music history. Prior to embarking upon a solo career in the islands, Elijah lived in Arcata, CA, where he sang with a band called The Dubbadubs for almost four years. The Dubbadubs opened for artists like Black Uhuru, Alborosie, and Fortunate Youth, and played at Reggae on The River in 2016. Now back in his home state, he’s embarked on a solo career and focusing on a reggae sound distinctive to the islands.
