ProArts Maui - John Cruz’s Musical Home
In August 2021, John Cruz declared ProArts Maui his musical home launching a weekly, “Island Style” concert residency at this idyllic venue. The show instantly won the hearts of both John Cruz and concertgoers - a chance to witness the Grammy-Award-winning Hawaiian legend at home in his element – performing live in a premier listening room where you see, hear and feel every note.

“Performing for an audience has always been a core part of my music and life, and it doesn’t get any better than ProArts Maui. Located right in my ‘front yard’ and feels like playing in my living room – ‘Island Style,’ connecting with each and every person.” – John Cruz
