  3. Connect musicians with other musicians around the island.
  4. Connect musicians with Venues where they can play here on Kauai.
  5. Connect an audience with the music they love.

Our Team

Kristine Young – Owner/Operator

Kristine Young I have called Kauai home for over 30 years now. Growing up here, then moving into my teens, then adulthood I've watched Kauai grow in so many ways. I love this island and the people that share it with me. I also love music. And although one of our top resources is entertainment, there was no one place I could go to find out who was playing on Kauai each day. I created KauaiMusicScene.com to do just that and much more. My background is sales and marketing, my heart is music. I've been a small business owner for over a decade. I wanted to do something for Kauai and something my whole heart was in. And something that's whole focus is to serve others. I look forward to watching our music scene on Kauai grow. I hope KauaiMusicScene.com helps that happen.

Jay “Taper” Taylor – Auditorial Director

Jay Taylor My nickname is Taper-Jay because in the 60's live music recordings were captured and archived on reel-to-reel tape recorders then later, cassette tapes. Fast-Forward 50+ years to the present day, digital age and hard-drive computers. The technology has evolved, but the passion, intensity, and magic of a band playing live for an ecstatic audience remains the same.

Live music, really good live music is something I feel deep down in my soul; it can transport me to places impossible to describe. I became a 'taper' and music archivist on Kaua'i for two simple reasons: to help musicians share their music with audiences and to make it possible for everyone to re-play and re-live those magical musical moments, that often happen only once.

Preserve the Moment - Capture it Live.
