In 1994, fellow musician friends from various careers and musical backgrounds decided to form a band to play on a casual basis. Today, Ke ‘Ope Ono (The Six Pack) announces the release of their first album entitled “Lunch Wagon Man”, produced by Ke ‘Ope Ono and Pierre Grill.

Ke 'Ope Ono enjoys performing the wide variety of regional musical styles which have come to be known as "Contemporary Hawaiian" music. The band members come from various musical backgrounds - going as far back as "Greenwood", a popular nightclub band in the Seventies. Ke 'Ope Ono now blends their music backgrounds, creating a fresh new sound.

Ke 'Ope Ono has been very busy trying to balance many performance engagements between themselves and as backup for the group "IMUA." The high point for them this year was being one of the winners at Mt. Kalihi Productions' "Battle for the Bash" which earned them a spot to play at the Makaha Bash 2000.

The "Lunch Wagon Man" album consists of 6 originals and 4 cover songs. "Lunch Wagon Man" is a tribute to the many hardworking lunch wagon operators throughout Hawaii. "Island Reggae", "I No Wanna Boy", "Let Me Be", and "Years Gone By" were written by Ke 'Ope Ono. These songs reflect life experiences by the members of the band. "How Can I Be Sure", "If", "Hualalai", and "Flying" are remakes of Ke 'Ope Ono favorites composed and/or performed by The Young Rascals, David Gates, The Makaha Sons, and Peter Moon respectively.

Over the years, audiences have asked about the possibility of Ke 'Ope Ono recording an album so that they can listen to "The Six Pack" at home, work, or in a car……well here it is!……Enjoy!
