Johnny Kealoha Pal Hawaiian, Polynesian and Country Entertainment

Johnny was such a pleasure to work with! He arrived early and performed classic Hawaiian music for our Luau event. Our event was postponed 3 times due to bad weather and Johnny consistently kept in communication and was ready to accommodate every date change that we had. He accommodated all of our requests. He blew a conch shell for the arrival of our main course and graciously accommodated the host's last-minute request to perform tableside entertainment during our lunch service. I would definitely recommend him and I will be booking him again in the future!

Johnny Kealoha, was the best. He showed up early to set up, he was fun to talk story with, he kept the party rockin and I can't wait to hire him again sometime in the future. Mahalo.

Johnny was punctual and performed good Hawaiian music for my mother's 60th birthday party. I would recommend him!

Johnny performed good Hawaiian music for my 2-year old's birthday party. I would highly recommend him! He made our Luau party really special and created a truly Hawaiian atmosphere. Extremely attentive, easy going and engaging.

Johnny was incredible! He arrived early, had all of his gear ready and gave a great performance that truly set the mood for my Sister's 40th birthday luau. I highly recommend booking Johnny for your next event! Mahalo Johnny!

Johnny was great ! Arrived at our event early and setup so that our guests enjoyed a lot of Hawaiian music .
Johnny entertained our little guests as well as our 80 year old crowd

Would certainly use Johnny for future events

Johnny showed up early and brought Uncle Lucky and they played good Hawaiian music, entertained my family and son, had our girls dance the hula and played overtime at no charge. Their vast library of songs kept us jammin and groovin the entire time.

10/10 would absolutely hire them again.

Johnny is personable, skilled and talented, communicative; and his performance is so professional. We feel like giving another party just so we can see and hear him again — a delightful evening enjoyed by all!

Mahalo Johnny! You made our night so special. Your set up was perfect.
A relaxing night on the beach overlooking the sunset as we sang and danced added just the right touch.
Being prompt, affordable and fun were the perfect combo - thank you!

Uncle Johnny brought the aloha to our event very grateful for him. Mahalo

It was a pleasure having Johnny perform at our birthday Luau. He arrived early to set up and performed promptly at his scheduled time. He played a variety of Hawaiian tunes that we could all relate to and sang a few songs, catered to the children, which they enjoyed .
Johnny made our family gathering perfect!

What can I say about Johnny? I knew from the moment I saw his profile he was a pro and that he could handle my mom's Celebration of Life and inurnment service with tact, reverence, sentimentality, charm, and respect. He's a winning combination of performing artist and professional entertainer and he collaborated really well with the officiant to give mom a beautiful tribute. I booked him several weeks before the service and there was a couple of details we needed to hash out before the scheduled day and he answered all my questions and concerns promptly. It helped me to trust him to the point that I said "Hey Johnny, since we can't have a dress rehearsal I'm going to leave it up to you to arrange the songs as you see fit." And he did. I was so relieved when I got to the cemetery and there he was, an early bird, setting up his space, way before even the funeral staff showed up. He became part of our ohana -- like having a brother from another mother -- that supported us with music and love through a difficult day. If mom is watching from heaven, I know she loved his performance. Johnny is a master musician, with each strum of the instrument guiding my family through grief and loss to love and light. While you might think that he's the guy you want for your wedding, you may also want to consider him for any special event, especially funerals. He brought just the right amount of levity, kind heartedness, wisdom, strength and of course beautiful music to the service and it was all we could have hoped for. It was perfect. Mahalo nui loa, Johnny.

Johnny was excellent. He came for my 40th birthday party and played a range of songs across different genres - even some children’s songs for my son who loved it. Everyone was happy and entertained, and the other big plus is that Johnny plays with a conversational style - between songs he says a little bit about the song’s origins, who wrote it, why... so you get a deeper sense of where the music and instruments are coming from that is fascinating! Overall Johnny is a kind and experienced performer who won’t disappoint. He is from Hawaii and leaves you with a gentle and relaxed island vibe.
Also Johnny was on time, very organized and easy to communicate with. We will definitely have him play with us again. Aloha!

Johnny and Lucky provided entertainment for my son's beach wedding in Santa Barbara. Communication leading up to the event was excellent - always fast and pleasant responses. Johnny and Lucky were punctual and played a variety of Hawaiian and popular music appropriate for the occasion. They not only played the ukulele but also the Hawaiian steel guitar and guitar. Without hesitation I would recommend them for your entertainment needs.

Johnny and Lucky came early, and set up before the party started, and stayed until the end. They began with the party's Hawaiian luau one year birthday theme. We played fun kiddie songs that the kids sang and danced to and played many adult songs. They did an excellent job and I would recommend them to anyone needing some fun entertainment! Great job and thanks for being so accommodating and easy to work with!!

The moment I met johnny I knew he would fit right in with our family. He arrived early to set up and all our guest loved him,he's one cool dude ! He played & sang beautifully and knew alot of the old songs my mom grew up with on Oahu. What a nice ending to an awesome day,much love & mahalo Johnny 🤙😊👍

Johnny Kealoha was a marvelous entertainer who arrived early to our event, and was already set up and tuning his ukulele before guests arrived. Prior to his start up time, he graciously played us a tune for our photographer and videographer. Our guests loved his Hawaiian music, and it truly added a magical touch to our event that day! We will definitely consider him when we are looking for a professional, prompt, and talented performer to any future events.

Johnny was fantastic! All of our wedding guests really enjoyed his music. AND he even brought a friend along to play with him at no charge. He went above and beyond. So thrilled he was a part of our special day :)

Johnny made our party! He was engaging with the crowd, played luau music all the way back to oldies and contemporary for the younger crowd. Our friends and family said we knocked it out of the park finding Johnny and his bass player Lucky. We’ll be calling him again for our next event.
Just lovely people!

Johnny was fantastic! And that Uncle Lucky was able to join made this extra special. I booked last minute and was very pleasantly surprised. Having them there was just the extra touch we needed - compliments from everyone who attended, "Where did you find him? He's great!". Very kind and courteous. Even played a few songs that got all the guests involved! It was wonderful! I definitely recommend him and will book again. Mahalo, Johnny!

I adore Johnny, and so will you! He played Ukulele and brought his lovely Hawaiian dancer Michi. I needed Hawaiian Entertainment for my little girl’s 4th Birthday party that was Rainbow and Hawaiian themed. Every Hawaiian entertainment company had fire dancers and more adult entertainment, but I found Johnny and he played sweet traditional and children’s songs on his ukulele and steel guitar. He arrived on time and brought his good energy with him! I would recommend his entertainment for any party!

We hired Johnny for my daughters 1st birthday. He arrived early and began on time. The guests enjoyed his performance as well as my daughter and all the kids. Johnny even played my daughters favorite song "Baby Shark" and all the kids danced! We would recommend him for your future entertainment.

The guests enjoyed Johnny's Hawaiian entertainment and the parents at the party enjoyed his playing kiddie songs for the children, interacting with them and inviting them to sing. Everyone had a great time and he even stayed a bit past the allotted time to play a few extra songs!

Booked Mr. Johnny Kealoha Pal Hawaiian for a SECOND TIME. Amazing performance and professionalism! He NEVER disappoints.
Previously, we had Mr. Johnny perform at our annual meeting for about an hour. This time, the event was for 3 hours. Our Members had a great time, and couldn't stop mentioning how amazing the music was. As the event was a day-time event, Mr. Johnny set the ambiance with his amazing ukelele playing and signing. He sings traditional Hawaiian music, as well as many classics. The turnout for the event consisted of adults and children, and everybody was entertained.
Mr. Johnny's professionalism is amazing as well. For BOTH events, he showed up much earlier than scheduled, and stayed to make sure everything was set and everyone was happy.
Mr. Johnny Kaeloha Pal is the BEST, and we were very lucky to be able to work with him again. He is very well known in the South Bay community, and his music and professionalism are second to none. Be sure to book him early! You won't be disappointed!

Thank you Gigsalad and Thank You Johnny!! You made our event very special👍

Johnny set the perfect mood for my husband's backyard Luau party! He was professional and prompt. Played a variety of music with different instruments and tempos. Thank you Johnny for your part of making the party perfect!

Absolutely wonderful talent and very accomplished. He accommodated to our venue and was fantastic - thank you. Much aloha to you.

Johnny did an excellent job playing what we had asked him to play.
You won’t regret it!!!

Johnny played the ukulele and sang for our party. Nice music and songs!

Johnny was super and well beyond what I expected. He was professional, arrived early, sang all the songs we wanted, the guests enjoyed him... He was sweet and it was a great way to provide a little something special for the party! I will have him back, for sure. Plus, he was affordable.

Imagine a veteran entertainer making your audience / guests feel welcomed and at home. Imagine a seasoned professional creating a light hearted atmosphere that makes you forget this is his profession. Imagine this entertainer engaging your crowd, taking requests, making them glad they attended. Now, add to that he’s a multi-instrumentalist, vocalist and comic who can credibly perform anything from Wiilie Nelson to Bruddah Iz — and you’ve got Johnny Pal.

Johnny arrived early and performed very lively Hawaiian music for two hours. The guests very much enjoyed themselves, especially all the kids at my daughter's 1st bday party :) Johnny was very flexible, he started playing indoors (in a relatively small area) to greet guests upon arrival, and then moved to the backyard once food was served. He played a mix of Hawaiian songs and Children's songs (upon request). Johnny was a blast to work with and I HIGHLY recommend him if you're looking for authentic Hawaiian entertainment!

Johnny made the day for our gathering! The music was beautiful and his Aloha spirit embraced all of us. He is beautifully humble with a wondering voice and island presence. Highly recommend him for your gig

Johnny and his dancer were absolutely incredible and exactly what I was hoping for. They showed up early and were totally self sufficient. They set the whole tone for our luau birthday party. The music was cool and breezy and while noticeable, did not take over the event. He sang beautifully- standards, unique tunes, and even fun ones for the kids! The dancer was outstanding- she and her outfits were beautiful, she even gave kiddos a tutorial. They were a bargain to boot! I could not recommend them more.

John arrived on time, very pleasant and guest enjoyed his performance from beginning to end.

Thank you!

Johnny and Ted provided music and fun to the residents of moms nursing home. They got there early for set up of all needed equipment then played and sang a medley of Japanese, Hawaiian, Latin and Anerican pop and standards which all the residents and staff really enjoyed. Johnny and Ted are excellent musicians and Johnny sang very well. He is also funny and had them laughing. A nursing home is a tough crowd, but they pulled it off. I would definitely book again.

Many thanks for Johnny and Michiko for contributing to our little fundraising luau! You helped bring in the spirit of ohana and generosity (and laughs)! Thank you so much.

Johnny was so amazing and easy to work with! He showed up early and was super communicative throughout the whole process. When he arrived he figured out the best place to perform and took care of everything himself. The performance was so much fun and Johnny made sure everyone had a fantastic evening! Would highly recommend to anyone.

Johnny arrived early and was already setting up when we arrived to decorate the banquet room. He played ukulele and sang great, was very entertaining and engaged in audience participation by teaching us the "Hukilau" ~ dressing us all up in multi-colored grass skirt!. He also graciously performed beyond the contracted time playing his ukulele and singing a wide variety of tropical Hawaiian music for our celebration of life. His bandmate also played beautiful Hawaiian steel guitar. A fun time was had by all.

Mr. Johnny Kealoha Pal was AMAZING! He performed for our Members at our Annual Meeting, and our Members had a BLAST! He was already well-recognized by our Membership (he is very well known in Southern California), and we were blessed to book him at the last minute (although I recommend booking in advance).

Mr. Pal showed up very early, and was already set up when I showed up to set up our event. His music can uplift any party, and his performance was perfect! Such an amazing performer, and an amazing person (so friendly when i met him as well)!

I would recommend him for any party, and he is a legend in the South Bay! Our Members are already requesting him for our next Annual Meeting. Thank you very much, Mr. Johnny Kealoha Pal!!!!

I hired Johnny for my grandmother‘s 90th birthday party. We had family of all ages from four years old to the birthday girl, 90. His variety of music across the board, along with Hawaiian traditional music was incredible. His voice is amazing, his ukulele skills are of the upmost professional and Johnny is so sweet, personable, professional, an all around GREAT guy. His entertaining skills are PERFECTION. He captured the audience in such a personal way. We all were singing & dancing having a blast!
I would most DEFINITLY hire Johnny Pal again!!

Johnny was a pleasure to work with. He was so accommodating, as our needs for our event kept changing. Always prompt to respond. We booked him for our Japanese Community Center's New Year Celebration.
Johnny showed up early to our event for set up and everyone who attended LOVED his performance. He was very entertaining and kept the crowd engaged. they were able to play popular Hawaiian songs... which is what we requested. I'm sad that I didn't book him for a longer time period! We are completely satisfied and I hope to book him for another event soon!

Johnny played for our sons first birthday party, and we couldn't have been happier. He has such a raw talent and gift for entertainment. He played children songs, lilo n stitch and even songs for the adults. He was professional, on time, and confident in his work. Thank you Johnny! We will definitely find a reason to hire him for another event. I highly recommend him to anyone.

Johnny has been such a delight to work with! He arrived early to set up so that he was ready to go when our event began. He has a lovely voice and his ukulele skills are awesome. I would highly recommend booking his services - I certainly will do so again for future events. He is also great at replying to questions you may have before the event - prompt and professional.

Johnny and Hula Girl made the birthday kuau hot and success. You were so awesome, everyone loved it !!! Thank you so much. We would absolutely hire you again!!!! Thanks!!!

Johnny was great and the kids loved him!

Johnny was punctual, entertained the guests before the wedding, played his ukulele and sang very well and performed an authentic Hawaiian chant for our wedding. Most of all the most kindness person. I felt like I knew him forever. Because of Johnny my wedding was very beautiful and those memories are going to last a lifetime. Johnny I would like to say thank you for making my the happiest day of my life turn out to be the most beautiful happiest exciting wonderful day of my life. Mahalo plenty.

Johnny was punctual and provided Hawaiian entertainment for our graduation party. He played multiple instruments and sang. He also played jazz, blues and rock. He even gave my sons an opportunity to play their sax and guitar along with him. Johnny helped to make the event extra special and memorable.

Johnny Pal sang beautifully on our wedding ceremony and party on May 20th. He was very easy to work and communicate with. He also made excellent suggestions which worked out beautifully. He was professional and arrived early. He played wonderful Hawaiian songs on his ukulele including Hawaii 5-0 and sleepwalk on his steel guitar. It set the perfect tone for our Hawaiian themed wedding. Thank you Johnny, for making our wedding memorable :-)

Thank you Johnny! Wonderful entertainer/musician. Highly recommend.

There really isn't enough room here to explain how incredible it was to have Johnny perform at our wedding. First off - he and his bandmate showed up many hours before he was scheduled to go on. Johnny spent the entire afternoon setting up, tuning and prepping himself for the big night. This was above and beyond anything we could have expected or even contracted; just amazing service. When it came time to kick things off, Johnny killed it. His soulful voice, natural guitar skills and overall stage presence helped everyone get into the mood. Johnny gave us the classic "Canon in D" as an intro and sang us out with "Over The Rainbow", which brought everyone to tears. Sadly our venue only allowed for a live band up until a certain hour - otherwise I would have booked him for the entire evening! Afterwards Johnny and his bandmate joined us for a bit of food, before quietly exiting stage left - just a professional through and through. If you are looking for a class act to get your party off on the right foot, I cannot recommend Johnny enough. Book him now!

Johnny did a great job. He played a lot of great music and entertained everyone. Additionally, he coordinated well with the Moana/Polynesian dancers as well....

Our family had a paddle out ceremony for my deceased brother. Johnny Pal performed an Hawaiian blessing and burial chants, sang beautiful, appropriate traditional Island songs for family/friends as we gathered to toss flowers/leis off the pier to the ocean below.
With beautiful restraint and respect, Johnny Pal, blended perfectly accenting the poignant moments.
Mahalo Johnny for helping us create cherished memories of a wonderful send off for our loved one!

Johnny was the perfect one man show for our wedding. He played us down the aisle to "White Sandy Beaches" and "Over the Rainbow" then put on a great cocktail hour of Hawaiian music and classic rock. Johnny read the crowd perfectly and was a great with our guests. He gave us a very personalized and genuine experience. Check out his videos on YouTube, Johnny will rock your party!

Johnny was great, showed up early to setup, brought all his equipment and some fun props for the crowd to play with. He delivered exactly what we had asked for the particular type of event we had. Plus he was willing to travel a little bit further for our event. Great guy, dressed the part, and fun musician. Would definitely recommend for your next party

Johnny is great we had so much fun!!!

Johnny was amazing at our Luau! He showed up early and got all set up. He had several different instruments, and played them all so well. He even played some songs for the little kids to dance to and some games for the adults.

Everyone truly enjoyed him at the party. I would definitely call him again in the future.

Johnny was a wonderful addition to our luau! He was very professional, but warm, friendly and played fantastic music.
I would recommend him to anyone looking for that type of entertainer and definitely hire him again. Great price, too!

we hired Johnny to play at a luau in honor of my fathers birthday... Johnny played great songs, plays beautifully, had fun stories and encouraged us to join in the fun! You can't ask for better than that!

Johnny was absolutely perfect for our party! thanks!

Johnny arrived early to set up 2 PA systems, his ukelele and Hawaiian steel guitar. His smile and energy filled up the beach as he played for our wedding ceremony. Our guests love the sounds while Johnny's voice lit up the crowd. I'm so pleased to have met Johnny and honored that he played a role in our special day. Aloha!!!

Johnny Pal did a great performance for our 50th birthday bash with a Hawaiian theme! He was very warm, friendly and entertaining and we all really enjoyed his music. It really set the ambiance for our party. He even played a few songs for our grandson and got him to dance! :)

Johnny started us of by performing in the cocktail hour. Johnny is a great performer, takes request, knows different genres, pleasant and showed up an hour earlier than expected. He was such a joy to work with. Johnny had many compliments and so did our event. We had 150 guest in attendance and everyone enjoyed Johnny. Can't wait to book him next year. Thanks again Johnny!!!!!

Johnny is quick to respond. Johnny is a great communicator. Johnny is very talented and very professional. You won't be disappointed if you hire Johnny! My seniors loved him!

Johnny Pal was amazing. He was prepared, professional and a great singer. He truly made our special moment unforgettable. Recommended.

Thanks Johnny!
