Local Uprising / Press

"Local Uprising was a pleasure to work with at our political fundraiser! From the business aspect, they were professional, patient, accommodating, and willing to go the extra mile to serve us as their client. As musicians, they were a rare gem: rocking the perfect blend of local favorites and mainstream tunes with personality and humor. Local Uprising’s music kept our guests excited and entertained throughout the event, and best of all, they kept everyone wanting more. I would highly recommend this group for any and all events, and am looking forward to booking them again! These boys are going places! Mahalo Local Uprising for making our event a huge success!!!"

“It was a pleasure to have hosted Local Uprising at our 2010 Ukulele Guild of Hawaii Exhibition on July 30 and 31, 2010 at the Neal S. Blaisdell Center. Our audience which was a mix of young and old, immediately took to their music. Their music is very current, yet, their repertoire is broad enough to hold the interest of any age group. One could just tell just by looking, that the band really enjoyed playing for our audience. We would not hesitate to invite them again to our event. Many thanks, Local Uprising.”

“Beau & Keanu from Local Uprising were great to work with - professional, prompt to respond to our questions, and very accommodating. After seeing their videos on You Tube, we knew it was the band for us! They are talented singers but also very entertaining with interjections of humour throughout their performance. On the day of our son's first birthday party, they showed up earlier than I did to set up and ensure everything was just right - we were very impressed, especially knowing they had a performance the night before. Our guests thoroughly enjoyed Local Uprising - we received so many compliments! Their talent, professionalism and great attitude will take them very far in life and in their careers. They come with our highest recommendation. Our expectations were surpassed 110%! If you need a great band for your event and someone easy to work with in coordinating it, book Local Uprising. You will not be disappointed! ”

“Local Uprising is an asset to the musical industry. They are very promising and I wouldn't be surprised ito hear they will be the soon to be next "Big Thing". Everyone at our party was very impressed and even asked who were they? We had some very good entertainment that night, including a couple Na Hoku Award winners, and I would have to say...Local Uprising kept our guests well entertained. They are very accommodating and very professional. They have a nice blend of musical numbers pleasing to the ears of all ages. I wish them well and would highly recommend them to any event”

“Local Uprising is wonderful to work with. They are very much on time, at least 45 minutes prior, on both events and very easy to work with. My main contact is Beau. I just tell him a date and time, and they schedule it in, quickly and efficiently. Local Uprising doesn't sound like anyone I know, they are great and unique! The audience loved the show, and asked them to play over an hour for the set, instead of 45 minutes as scheduled. I think they are fun on stage, professional, and prompt. I would definitely hire them again! I see them as definitely one of the top bands within a year or so in Hawaii or beyond!”

“My husband and I would like to personally thank you and the entire band of Local Uprising for providing the entertainment at our Wet Down Party earlier this month. We had a fantastic time listening to and jamming with you guys. You guys really kept the party lively and fun (for all ages). Many of our guests raved about what an awesome job Local Uprising did performing. We would love to have you play again for us at future events and highly recommend you to others. Thank You Again and Aloha Carolyn and Alan Aber”
