Sundays in the Country with Swing Star
Aloha Music Series
AG Presents and Casanova Makawao welcome Swing Star to the Aloha Music Series, Sundays in the Country, at Casanova’s in Makawao Town on Sunday, May 24th.
On first listen, Swing Star’s swirling sounds owes much to the gypsy guitar of Django Reinhardt, but as the ear adapts, it’s clear that this quartet sounds like no other. It creates an exciting feeling as a dance band, soothing and elegant background music, or in a concert performance setting.

About Swing Star

Swing Star’s originality stems from being collective stars. Like an astute big band, Swing Star’s musicians are equally luminescent. At any moment, a guitar, clarinet, or bass will take center stage.
One moment, the twin tickling of guitars traipsed through the streets of pre-WWII Paris, the next, a bustle of Latin licks spawned sounds hotter than a molten Brazilian night.
Guitarist Steve Elliott became smitten with and inspired by Django’s music and guitar mastery. Shortly after moving from Southern California to Maui, he started searching for like-minded musicians.
It wasn’t long after that when Michael Guzalak (clarinet, tenor sax, vocal, percussion) joined in, after working in a similar style band, One Leg UP, for 15 years in Asheville, NC.
The band is driven on the low end by bassist David Graber, or Ganis, perhaps the finest bass players on Maui, and a joy to hear.
Our newest member, Bita Fonseca, is an extraordinary Brazilian guitarist the bring an authentic sound to the different styles of Latin and world music covered by the band.
Accessible to even the most discerning ear, Swing Star cozies comfortably with large crowds or the most minuscule of private parties. Their blissful sounds spill onto the dance floor, creating an infectious aura that can arouse the dancer in everyone.
