| In Hawaiian tradition, OHANA simply means family... And in the broadest sense, OHANA is a commitment to friends and extended family, to community, and to sustaining the balance and welfare of a group ahead of individuals-- OHANA brings with it a spirit of loyalty, selflessness, and shared blessings... The beauty, power, and spiritual energy contained within music creates a bond that unites individuals in a unique way. Through music we all have the ability to come together under an umbrella of words and melodies. Through music we build OHANA. Understanding more and more the power and potential of music as a community building tool, Braddigan's vision is to build and foster as many layers of OHANA as possible through his musical expression... OHANA already exists within the band, crew, and management itself... we experience OHANA as people come together at shows all across the country... and then there will be you all at the very core, the beating heart, the OHANA team-- You will be the inner circle, the group within the group, and hopefully the very foundation of it all. OHANA, we hope, will become an environment where new friendships will take root, where ideas will be exchanged freely, and where all kinds of art and music will be exposed, shared, and supported. OHANA, we hope, will be alive, everchanging and evergrowing! And while it starts with Braddigan and the sharing of his music, where it ends will be entirely up to you-- | With OHANA, Braddigan's vision is to give you all a story to tell and more of an identity within the band itself. You all are vital to us, we will want your ideas, and in exchange for your support we will be rewarding you guys in every way possible-- Most immediately there will be the "OHANA Vault" which will feature unreleased music, videos, and pictures that will be available only to you... There will also be a sliding scale of bonus goods for cd sales and/or street team work. The bottom line is that we want you all as OHANA to be privy to the inside scoop on all matters BRADDIGAN and we will be encouraging you to share your thoughts and feedback with us directly. As individual members of the OHANA team, you will all have I.D.s and passwords to access "OHANA" where all of our future communication, plans, and commerce will be conducted. If you're with us, please become a part of OHANA...This authentic family-style community will be an integral part of spreading Braddigan's story and music. |
