The Makaha Sons -Moon, John & Jerome - is one of Hawai`i's top recording and performing groups. The music of this ever-popular trio is  nothing short of magic - three - part harmonies unmatched in sweetness and precision, accompanied by innovative and vibrant arrangements.

Over the years the Makaha Sons have had the opportunity to record music with their friends who are also some of the premier recording artists in Hawai'i. The names read like a who's who in Hawaiian music, Robert Cazimero, Teresa Bright, Robi Kahakalau, Dennis Pavao, Cyril Pahinui, Nina Keali'iwahamana, Jerry Santos, Del Beazley, Manu Boyd and Rocky Brown. This album presents some of these performances in a sparkling and varied collection. As a bonus, four new tracks by the Sons are also included.

The Makaha Sons - Moon, John & Jerome began as the Makaha Sons of Ni'ihau, a driving force in Hawaiian music that was founded in 1976. The Makaha Sons have put their own stamp on traditional melodies, and their unique harmonies and arrangements have set them apart in the 25 years they have been making music.

The Sons tour extensively throughout the West Coast and Japan where the name is instantly recognized. They had performed under the banner of Portrait of Hawai'i's Music, bringing a unique cultural experience to the cities they visited. In recent years they have added concert performances and fans in new areas including Colorado, Texas, Washington DC, Massachusetts, Florida, Alaska, Wisconsin and New York.

The group has twice performed at Carnegie Hall in the past few years.

Among the awards include Best Vocal Group, Best Traditional Album, Best Song in the Hawaiian Language, Engineering and Graphics awards.

Over the years they have recorded 17 albums. Many of these have been recognized by the Hawaiian recording industry with Na Hoku Hanohano Awards of excellence (the Na Hoku Hanohano Awards is the Hawaiian equivalent of the Grammys). Among the awards include Vocal Group of the Year, Traditional Album of the Year, Best Song in the Hawaiian Language, Anthology of the Year, and for the albums Ho'ola (1987), and Ho'oluana (1993) the prestigious Album of the Year awards.
