Brother Noland has deeply influenced contemporary Hawaiian music and is widely considered as the "Father of Jawaiian Music." Fluid in both Slack Key and standard guitar tunings, Brother Noland goes wherever the music carries him. Brother Noland is an impactful player in Hawai'i's music scene and one of Hawai'i's most respected artists. He was honored in 2014 by the State of Hawai'i for a "Lifetime Achievement in Music" award. But despite all the accolades, Brother Noland has never forgotten his roots and the community. Through his philanthropy he helps at-risk youth define their choices and make a quality connection to the community through his Ho'ea Initiative, dedicated to teaching children about how to live off the 'aina (land) and the ocean. As a steward of the land, Noland has a deep connection to Hawai'i and even cares for acreage on the island of Moloka’i while preserving Hawaiian customs, indigenous plants and animal species. His music and community spirit always carries a message of positive reflection, while rooted in the reality we face today.
