"We used High Tide at our corporate event at Kona Village, and they were an absolute pleasure to work with. They read the crowd's energy all evening and helped us celebrate several birthdays. Highly recommend on any of the islands!"

"We couldn't have dreamed of anything more — great energy, terrific sound, and they even learned a few of our most special songs. Gwyn and team were highly responsive and made everything extremely easy on us. An absolute no brainer!"

"As an event planner, I've booked High Tide twice — both huge successes. Their professionalism leading up to the event is unmatched in Hawai'i, and their energy and musicality are awesome. The best cover band in Hawai'i, hands down."

High Tide Live Band
Who We Are
High Tide brings together seasoned musicians, thoughtful curation, and high-energy performance to create unforgettable events. Our experience spans weddings, corporate celebrations, private events, and destination gatherings across Hawai'i. We pride ourselves on professionalism, flexibility, and a polished stage presence that feels elevated yet approachable.
Our core members have played together for 6+ years — when you book High Tide, you're booking that same band, not a rotating cast of hired guns. That consistency means a group that rehearses and performs together regularly, reads a room instinctively, and delivers a tighter, higher-quality show every time.
One Point of Contact, From Start to Finish
Our lead singer is also your event coordinator — working directly with you from initial booking through the final song of the night to build the timeline, coordinate with your other vendors, and call the cues that keep an evening moving smoothly. One dedicated, musically-trained point of contact, present and hands-on for every stage of the event.
Classic Rock
Our Sound
Over five decades of music, played with a rock-and-party edge rather than a straight pop-cover feel — high energy, real instrumentation, and a set list built to keep the dance floor full. Our repertoire runs deep — from Etta James and Stevie Wonder to Fleetwood Mac, Billy Idol, and Chappell Roan — so we can shape the night's energy from a mellow dinner hour into a full rock-and-dance finale with transitions that make the most diverse songs feel like they belong together.
