Since forming on O’ahu, Hawai’i, in 2009, The Green has become one of the most successful and beloved bands in the reggae genre. They have been awarded a Best Reggae Album nod from iTunes, multiple Na Hoku Hanohano awards, and nominations in their native Hawai’i and three #1 Billboard Reggae chart debuts, along with charting on the Billboard Top 200. Not bad for a band that was formed by six members of Hawai’i’s tight-knit music scene to record a few songs and have some fun! The Green was one of the first Hawaiian reggae bands to tour extensively on the mainland and performed at acclaimed music festivals before becoming a headliner on their own tour. The Green also opened for Bruno Mars in back-to-back sold out shows at Hawaii’s iconic Aloha Stadium. Their fourth album, Marching Orders, debuted at #1 on Billboard Reggae chart. Their most recent album, Black & White, is an acoustic take on their greatest hits and is currently up for multiple Na Hoku Hanohano Award nominations including Reggae Album of the Year and Group of the Year. Their latest release, My Hawai’i, carries a powerful message that embodies the resilience of the Hawaiian community in their continuous fight to protect their homelands. It is currently also up for a Na Hoku Hanohano Award as Single of the Year. More info: New Year’s with The Green (bluenotehawaii.com)
