Pohai and Stephen Henderson – “Island Soul Session” at ProArts, Saturday March 7th, at 7:30pm

Brother and sister duo Stephen Henderson and Pohai bring their voices together in a rare, intimate performance filled with original songs, soul, and family harmony as native Hawaiian artists from Hana, Maui. 

Though each has a growing solo career, together their voices interlace with a depth and resonance that only ʻohana can create.

Stephen is a three-time Nā Hōkū Hanohano Award nominee and finalist, a Hawaiʻi Songwriting Festival Competition winner, and a signed Concord Music artist. A current pioneer of the emerging “Island Soul” sound, he blends heartfelt songwriting with a modern soul edge, carrying forward a new musical identity for Hawaiʻi.

Pohai is a rising star in Hawaiʻi’s music scene—a powerful female vocalist and soul-conscious roots singer-songwriter. Her artistry and songs are on air throughout the islands and weave her identity as a Kanaka Maoli woman into soulful expressions of sovereignty, freedom and resilience.

Together, Stephen and Pohai co-wrote Babylon, which won the statewide Mana Maoli Song Contest, further cementing their place as storytellers for this generation.

This special showcase is a close intimate experience: stripped down, acoustic, and deeply personal. They will leave you in awe with intricate harmonies, storytelling and original songs that speak to life, family, grief, healing, and hope, and music that uplifts and stirs the spirit.
