The Elevations Hawai’i Debut EP

Introducing…The Dyn-o-mite Vintage Soul Explosion Out of Honolulu, Hawai’i
 
The Elevations Hawai’i — a 9-piece soul band based out of Honolulu, HI — combine vintage soul with a modern heart, resulting in a soul-soothing sound. Founded in 2018, Hawaii’s only vintage soul band has been performing and lighting up audiences with their dyn-o-mite sound ever since!  With six dynamic instruments and three powerful voices, The Elevations Hawai’i are proud to unveil their eponymous debut EP to the world!
 
The Debut EP’s sound is powerful, passionate, and “fresh”.  With four new songs written under their backyard mango tree, The Elevations have brought to life, “Coming Straight for You,” “Liar,” “You Made Your Bed,” and “In Plain Sight,” vibrant and sultry, with a hint of that tropical vibe that showcases their roots in the islands of Hawaii.

We are an 8 piece vintage soul band, doing it in the original style before Mwtown. It was at the cusp of original r&b from the 40’s and 50’s mixed with the Blues that Soul was born!
