- January 13th – Bernardo and Rogerio. These talented musicians feature a range of Latin music sure to get you moving. There’s a little floor space for those adventurous Samba and Salsa dancers.
- January 20th – Sonny Silva and the Hot Club of Hulaville featuring Ginai. Lively European and Gypsy jazz and even some show tunes. Get there early because they are a Du Vin favorite.
- January 27th – Jazzy Jay. A popular Honolulu musician seen at a number of places around town. Take the challenge to find a song or style that Jay can’t deliver. He’s energetic and a crowd favorite.
