The Live @ the MACC series of events includes many special virtual experiences streamed for free to our Maui community & elsewhere. Events to include Hawaiian, pop and classical music, dance, visual arts and more.  We are pleased to present, streamed from the MACC's Castle Theater, a special concert featuring Maui's own Gypsy Pacific who will perform and talk story together in this special collaborative concert in an up close and personal setting.  

Gypsy Pacific is a vibrant gypsy-jazz band based on the island of Maui with guitarists Tom Conway, Phil Benoit, violinist Willy Wainwright and bassist Marcus Johnson. They have been performing and recording in Hawai‘i for nearly 20 years. The band was formed when Tom Conway and Willy Wainwright, with their love for gypsy-jazz music, started sharing ideas and brought in bassist Marcus Johnson, then later Phil Benoit on rhythm guitar to form a powerhouse of a band. The idea has been, and continues to be, to bring their own approach to gypsy-jazz with traditional and original music and an island flair. Notable performances have been with Willie Nelson, David Benoit, Larry Coryell and more.

The Live @ the MACC series is made possible by the generous support of the County of Maui and the Office of Economic Development. The series is designed to bring much needed opportunities for many of Hawai‘i's performing artists in a combination of live/virtual or safe/live-in-person events that meet local government and current CDC guidelines.
