Book 'em, Danno! Hawaiian Swing Band

Need a Hawaiian show for your wedding, backyard party, or special occasion? Book ‘em Danno can deliver just what you’re looking for! We will create a custom show that will transport you to the Islands of Hawaii. Our performance is a musical and cultural event that you’ll remember for a long time.

The show can feature Traditional Hawaiian and Swing music, and both ancient (kahiko) and modern (auana) hula. All our music and hula are authentic.

Now get our music at the Amazon.com MP3 store. Shop for your favorite Book ‘em Danno tunes on Amazon.com MP3. You can download the whole album (we’d like that very much!), or just download the songs you like. Listen to high quality music samples and decide for yourself. Whatever you choose to do, we’d love it if you’d get some of our music for your MP3 player to bring the Aloha Spirit wherever you go. Mahalo!

Catch Danno in rotation on WRFG Radio Free Georgia. We're on the “Sagebrush Boogie” show hosted by Dave Chamberlain on Thursday evenings, 8pm - 10 pm Eastern time.
