With the rains falling in beautiful Manoa Valley, it can only mean one thing… Christmas is around the corner! Happy December everyone, hope that you all keep safe and warm as winter hits us, and we celebrate the holidays with friends and family.

On behalf of the Manoa DNA family, we want to thank you all for your support and love, and hope to see you around this holiday season. We are busy elves, working hard on the upcoming album, but have a few special holiday appearances lined up!

Happy Independence Month everybody! As we are now in the full swing of summer, let’s all take a moment to remember the day when our nation declared themselves independent and separate. It serves as a good memory, not only because it did not come cheap, but that we are a nation who stands up for what they believe in. Have a great summer, and thank a soldier for keeping you safe and free!

We will be the last ones performing on the rooftop, right before the fireworks show begins, so get there early and grab a seat where you can. 30,000 people pile onto the roof every year, and this year is expected to impress no less.
