"TWO VOICES ...": William "Baba" Alimoot, seated, and Chris Kamaka, celebrated the release of their debut album, "Two Voices, One Heart," with Alimoot's grandson, Kemele Alimoot, and Kamaka's daughter, Ihilani, at the Outrigger Waikiki on Wednesday. Pianist Jan Luna sat in with the duo for a short set showcasing songs from the album.

THE BAR IS OPEN!: Richard MacPherson, right, joined Dion Donahue behind the bar at the cast party that followed the opening night performance of "The Weir" at the Yellow Brick Studio on Wednesday (Donahue plays a bartender in the show). "The Weir" continues weekends through May 11.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KATA!: Michael "Sweet Daddy" Austin, left, and Simplisity front man Andy Saxton, right, were fashionably on time to help Kata Maduli celebrate his 51st birthday at Volcanoes on Thursday. Kamasami Kong, Lea Uehara, Pam Kaaihue, Makanani Ah Sing, Kenji Sano, D.J. Pratt, and Chant, enjoyed the music of 'Ale'a before Maduli and Teresa Bright sat in with Simplisity.
