“Nothing brings us together quite so whole-heartedly as does music, connecting us to a place and telling stories about ourselves and the world around us. We Go Jam is a pure humanities project and we are happy to join Windward Community College in celebrating the music of Kāne‘ohe and Windward O‘ahu.” — Bob Buss, HCH executive director
