I enjoy playing for a variety of occasions such as public and private concerts; corporate and private meetings, luncheons, and retirement parties; weddings and receptions; and for community functions as well.

Scalable Performance Offerings

Perhaps you have an upcoming intimate party, a large corporate event, or anything in between. I can easily scale my offering to accommodate almost any need. Band members can be added to support the desired sound and hula performers can be added to complete the presentation. Send me an email with your contact information and we can discuss what is appropriate for your event and budget.

Instruments

I play an 8 string Concert Tenor ukulelecustom-made for me by the late Mr. Les Rietfors from Kailua, Hawaii. I also play keyboard. Other instruments can be added, such as bass, guitar, and percussion, to meet the needs of almost any venue.

Travel

Although most of my bookings are in the San Francisco Bay Area, I have often performed in other parts of California and in other states.

Music Genres

I play music from many different genres. Performances can be booked in any one or more of the following genres.

Traditional Polynesian
Motown
Soft Jazz
Contemporary Rock
Oldies

"On Sunday May 20 , Na Mele Nei  Concert welcomed Island girl Faith Ako to our humble stage at the Ward Warehouse Amphitheatre.  Our audience was treated to an afternoon delight of Hawaiian music straight from the heart of Faith. I think I speak for all of our Na Mele Nei audience, who enjoyed Faith's performance, that we wish we could have Faith home in the Islands full time!!! Native Books Na Mea Hawaii, sponsors of Na Mele Nei Concerts, has proudly included Faith's debut CD "Ku Kahi" in our store inventory. We look forward to having Faith grace our stage anytime she comes home to O'ahu. With aloha,"
          Elena Hollinger-Martinez, Producer, Na Mele Nei Sunday Concert, Ward Warehouse Stage

"Aloha Faith - I just had to tell you what a pleasure it was to finally meet you and your daughter! The way you sang so beautifully and the way she danced hula to your song ; the two of you just compliments each other beautifully! Looking forward to seeing you on Radio Tiny on K108 and OC16 again real soon!
          Valerie Tamura, Producer, Radio Tiny

"Faith embodies the true meaning of what the the aloha spirit stands for. Ku Kahi which means “Standing alone” is a true reflection of Faith Thompson Ako, a strong, beautiful woman in love with life and sharing this love through her music. Born and raised on Kaua’i , “Kauai Medley” and “Koke’e” holds a special place in my heart. Hawaiian music reflects an experience or a feeling that comes from the soul, Faith definitely reflects this in her recent CD, and in everyday life."
          Kurt Osaki, Partner, Hukilau

Faith Ako had her first performance at the Mystic Theatre on March 16th, and the entire evening was a beautiful success. The experience started before you even stepped foot in the door with mood setting live music being played on the patio, you felt like you stepped straight off the streets of downtown Petaluma into an authentic Hawaiian Luau. As you walked into the lobby you could not help but take in the sweet smells of the Tuberose, coming off the fresh leis flown in from Hawaii. The entire evening was filled with great music from the lovely Faith herself backed up by an awesome varitey of Hula dancers and costumes, and great Hawaiian snacks as well. Not to mention that the entire Hawaiian community came out to support Faith and her show, you couldn't ask for a nicer group of people. I cannot wait for their next stop through, (and a few more of those pork won-tons, hehe)!

"When I'm asked what makes a good live performance I typically answer with the one word that summerizes the evening best, "honesty". It's that quality and believablility of the artist that truely connects and entertains the audience. Faiths show with us earlier this year exemplified that quality of performance and drew a sold out crowd to the Mystic for what would be not only a quality show but a bay area community event! Honestly, I am eagerly awaiting her next show with us this summer!"
          Randy Teaford, Mystic Theatre Production Manager & Chief Engineer
