Nalani & Sarina
Identical twins born in stereo. Nalani and Sarina literally mirror each other, not only with good looks but with exceptional talent. From incorporating various instruments such as piano, ukelele, and guitar to harmonizing with a soul-rock background, these girls are truly a graceful act. So graceful as a matter of fact that when they both play guitar, Nalani plays right handed and Sarina lefty. Watching them play in unison just feels right. So far the sisters have blessed many venues with their presence along the east coast, including The Wilmington Flower Market Festival at which they headlined, New York City's City Winery, Philly's World Cafe Live, and other music festivals such as Musikfest (Bethlehem, PA) and Black Potato Festival (Clinton, NJ). Nalani & Sarina are currently on tour, so please click here to see their upcoming shows and get your tickets now. With a sound the two have developed themselves, which mixes traditional soul rock and modern pop, its an experience you do not want to miss out on. Their songs are catchy AND meaningful, their look is dazzling, their message is courageous, and the sky is the limit.

Nalani and Sarina Live at The Queen in Wilmington Delaware
Having been raised in a musical household, their education started early, being trained in classical piano as children to performing opera in high school. Music theory came naturally to them, which made things a lot easier when transitioning from performing other artists' music to their own. In 2014, their song "Start All Over" was chosen as WXPN's Philly Local Pick of the Day. Later that year, they did an interview on SiriusXM's 'Kick out the Jams' (hosted by Dave Marsh) alongside Sam Moore of Sam & Dave where they performed his song, "When Something's Wrong with My Baby" on the air, which led to an invite to perform the song with him at his New York City show at the City Winery.
In 2015, they released their EP, Scattered World. The music video for their song "Get Away" was featured on sites such as MTVu, VH1, CMT, as well as other video outlets nationwide. In television, they landed a feature in NJTV's "State of the Arts". In December 2015, Nalani & Sarina performed at a Kristen Ann Carr Fund charity event at the Sony Wonder Building where they met and sang for Bruce Springsteen. They were also interviewed by Mike McGrath for his Christmas Radio Show on NPR/WHYY.
