Jeff Parker, Skerik, Cyro Baptista, Rob Burger)Jerome James & FriendsJerome James: DrumsJoshua Kaye: Fender Rhodes keyboardPaka: KeyboardsFor over 20 years, Jerome James has been a creative force in Honolulu, whether holding down the beat in a multitude of bands, building and captaining Mardi Gras floats or producing and DJing gatherings of ecstatic dancers around the islands. His latest project, Jerome James is one of our all-time favorite James incarnations. The band is a keyboard ensemble featuring James on drums and two accomplished keyboardists, who like James, have dedicated their lives to music - Joshua Kaye and Paka.
