This lively foursome weaves a tasteful blend of science, history, legend and thought-provoking tips on caring for the 'aina (land) through a wonderful assortment of original songs. "In The Beginning," a song that musically describes Hawai'i's geological origins, is also the name of the group's debut CD.

Members of Lava Jam Band, who individually & collectively have performed in various venues on the Big Island and other locations, include Angie Libadisos Baker on ukulele; Dina Kageler on guitar; Sherri Thal on violin and percussion; and David Sierra on guitar, ukulele, mandolin and flute.
