Elaine was actually born in Ireland, then emigrated to Vancouver with her family at age five. The Ryans are a musical family, and Elaine would often sing harmonies with her younger brother, who is also a musician. "Music would always be playing in our house," she recalls.Elaine Ryan is the living embodiment of the nomadic troubadour. Her eagerly-awaited debut full-length album, Songs From The River, features tunes written in Vancouver, Montreal and Hawaii, recorded in Maui, and mixed and mastered in Montreal. Elaine´s material draws from such diverse life experiences as busking in Europe, studying flamenco in Spain and working in an orphanage in Guatemala, and she distils hard-won lessons into potent folk-rooted songs deserving of real attention.

For the first time anywhere, Evan Shulman´s CD "Live" is available exclusively by Hawaiian Island Weddings. Evan has been playing lounge acts in the Kaanapali area for many years. His vocal range is unbelievable! Evan can really "belt them out" with his acoustic 12 string guitar at weddings, but put an electric guitar in his hands and he is unstoppable. Evan plays all the classics on this his second CD, songs like "My Way" and " Smoke Gets In Your Eyes" will surely bring back memories for older folks (like me). This is one of my favorite CD´s and is great for when you want to get in the mood.

Some come straight from the beach, others are dressed for a nice dinner it makes no difference, you´ll fit right in.
