Quite possibly one of the best concert in several months hits Maui and has been slated for Turkey weekend at Charley's in Paia. Unfortunately, for many of us O'ahu residents, we'll have to try and get a Go Airline! Ticket just to see this show. If you haven't heard of Maui's own Amphibeus Tungs and Gorilla Jazz, then get on it! Plan your trip already, you won't be disappointed.
