Jazz Maui presents brother duo “Wolfchild”, in a dinner show concert on Saturday, December 23rd at the Empanada Lady Restaurant 2119 W. Vineyard, Wailuku.
Wolfchild is a Seattle-based Indie Folk Rock music group originally from Maui. Their official music video “Runaways” received a favorable review by the Huffington Post and the band was featured in a segment about the Seattle music scene, which aired on the Travel Channel. The band has toured with artist Sawyer Fredericks, 2015 Spring Season winner of the popular television show “The Voice”. Gabriel Wolfchild made his national debut on the show that same season and he and Fredericks became friends. Their tour crisscrossed the US including stops at the Troubadour in Los Angeles, the Egg in Albany and The City Winery in Nashville.
Recently the band retreated home to Maui to wait out the pandemic. During the break they have been working on new material and playing with new musicians. A most recent project is the Adrift video series which showcases the band playing in some of Maui’s most beautiful and strange places.

“Gabriel and Eli participated in summer music camps we produced some years ago when we brought in LA Music Academy,” says Bryant Neal, executive director of Jazz Maui. “It is great to see how they have grown and found a place in the international music scene”.
The Dinner show event at Empanada Lady will be a great opportunity to see them perform live in a Covid safe intimate environment.
