Hulu Kūpuna Productions celebrates the release of EVERYDAY LOCAL, the self-titled, full-length album by multi Nā Hōkū Hanohano award winners Mark Yamanaka and Kellen Paik (of the band Kūpaoa). The pair have independently pursued their own musical careers for over a decade but during the pandemic, they were in need of a creative outlet. The duo, who have been close friends for many years, decided to collaborate on an album that would allow them to share some of the music that might not necessarily fit on a Mark Yamanaka or Kūpaoa album. What resulted is a collection of songs that are inspired by their everyday lives, including some beloved classics and several new compostions. The name they have chosen for themselves, EVERYDAY LOCAL, is an apt moniker for these two local guys who love to sing everyday local music for local people.
