The Tikitones have been spreading the sounds of Aloha from shore to shore since 2005. The women of the Tiki Tones Band perform Hawaiian, Pop, Jazz and Light Rock music. This acoustic trio consists of sparkling performances by singer/ songwriters Michelle Kiba, Ellen Silva and Mimi Hills.
Michelle Kiba is band leader, music therapist, music instructor. She plays ukulele, guitar and sings lead vocals. Michelle is also an enchanting hula dancer, adding that extra special island touch to her performances. With a smile as warm as island sunshine, and often wacky commentary, her performances are always a treat to her audiences.
Ellen Silva is a singer-songwriter who plays guitar, ukulele, and piano, and sings lead and harmony vocals with the Tiki Tones and her band, Island Dream. She has 3 CDs of original music to her credit, under the genres of tropical pop, swing and bluesy folk.
Ellen sings in 2 choirs: M’EarthTones (alto: world beat & beyond), and Gryphon Carolers (tenor: jazz/gospel).
Mimi Hills Named for the tragic heroine in Puccini's opera La Boheme, Mimi Hills has always had eclectic taste in music. From early training in classical piano, to folk guitar and dabbling in Irish pennywhistle and flute, Mimi's musical journey has now brought her to playing stand-up bass in a bluegrass band, in local theatre, and now, joyfully, in Hawaiian music.
