Biography:
When one hears the name KAPENA these days, immediately a picture of three young men with musical instruments in arms comes to mind. But it wasn’t long ago that Kapena first competed in the "Brown Bags To Stardom" contest representing Kaimuki High School…the state-wide high school amateur talent competition. Since then, they have come a long way in the music business.
While their "word of mouth" reputation grew, they moved on to become the house band at the local watering hole, Sparky’s Lounge.
