Aloha Country Songwriters Festival | Jan 16th -18th, 2026 | Waianae, Oahu

The Aloha Country Songwriters Festival is a soulful three-day celebration of country, folk, and island-inspired music along the beautiful shores of Oahu’s west side. Rooted in Hawaii’s paniolo (cowboy) heritage and the belief that Music is Medicine, the festival blends storytelling, service, and song. In partnership with 2 Walk on Water, proceeds benefit water therapy retreats for families of children battling cancer.

The 2026 lineup features local Hawaiian artists, Bobby Chitwood, acclaimed Nashville artist  Dani Rose, whose music has been featured on Yellowstone, and award-winning Nashville songwriters Danny Myrick and his wife Megan, writers of five #1 hits including Truck Yeah (Tim McGraw) and She’s Country (Jason Aldean)
