Our Beginnings...

Back in the early 80's, some local friends got together to "kanikapila" in their garage.  After singing the usual local Hawaiian songs, they experimented with another genre of music...Motown!  They soon found that their harmonies were tight, and the sound was pleasing.  Wearing their best clothes, they performed in front of family and friends at small gatherings.

The word spread and people were requesting to see the "local guys" who sing Motown.  Wearing fancy suits and imitating the dances of their favorite groups, they perfected their craft becoming the first Motown tribute group in Hawaii.  As their popularity grew, a catchy name was needed.  Knowing that the sound of those "golden oldies" was the key to their success, they decided on the name A Touch of Gold.  They soon became a local favorite.

As time went by, members of the group changed.  New ones would come, and old ones would leave, but the sound would remain the same...GOLDEN!

In 2009...

A Touch of Gold entered the studio, creating their third album entitled "Reborn."  It was nominated for the upcoming Hoku awards.  In June of that year, A Touch of Gold walked away with a Na Hoku Hanhano Award for Hip-Hop / R&B Album of the Year.

In 2017, A Touch of Gold had the opportunity to sing and film in a Vacations Hawaii commercial.  They brought their smiling faces and slick harmonies to the city of Las Vegas.  The catchy jingle soon became known throughout the islands.  That same year, they were once again nominated for a Hoku award, Extended Play (EP) of the Year.

Now, A Touch of Gold continues to perform for the people of Hawaii.  They take pride in the fact that each and every one of them is local to the islands.  They grew up learning the local traditions, and singing the Hawaiian songs.  But the songs of Motown are instilled in each of them.
