The Tiki Tones

Meet the band...

Ellen Silva, Mimi Hills perform with me as the Tiki Tones. Our music is a smooth blend of acoustic Hawaiian Swing and a wide range of easy listening mainland tunes. We entertain at luau parties, weddings, corporate events, festivals, fundraisers and more. Let us provide you with the perfect band compliment be it solo, duet, trio, or a larger group to match your budget and vision. We even have beautiful hula dancers available or catering to complete your Polynesian party experience. 

Keep us in mind for any occasion that calls for live music. Call Michelle to help plan and schedule your next "live music" event. We look forward to hearing from you!
