Introducing our live band who will be playing for you as you enjoy the luau buffet at the Back the Brave Luau this Saturday, August 22nd, in Layton.

Island Remedy is a Hawaiʻi based island reggae band bringing the spirit of the islands wherever they play. With years of experience performing throughout Hawaiʻi, Utah, and California, their sound blends reggae, island vibes, R&B, country, and Polynesian roots into an uplifting experience that brings people together.

From local venues to festivals and community events, Island Remedy brings good music, good energy, and a little taste of home wherever they go.

We’re excited to have Island Remedy be part of the Back the Brave Luau and provide the music while you enjoy your meal and the evening with us.

Introducing our fire knife dancer for the Back the Brave Luau this Saturday, August 22, in Layton!
Martin Tevaga was born on Maui to parents Tulaga Tevaga and Rasela Tuivaiti. He has studied Ailao Afi, or fire knife dancing, under the tutelage of his father, one of the pioneers of the art, since the age of five.

He began competing at the Polynesian Cultural Center at age 13, captured the Junior World Championship title at 14, and has placed in the top nine in the world on multiple occasions. Over the years, he has performed on stages across Hawaiʻi and the mainland with some of the most talented productions in the industry.

Today, he is one of the fire knife dancers who performs on the field at every BYU home game. He is also the proud founder and teacher of TnT Ailao Academy in Utah, which he is preparing to reopen and resume teaching this year.

We are excited to have Martin Tevaga join us for the Back the Brave Luau! Get your tickets through the link in our bio.

We wouldn’t be able to do what we do without our incredible partners, sponsors, and donors.

We’re about a week away from the Back the Brave Luau on August 22 at the Hideaway on Angel in Layton, Utah. We want to thank all of our sponsors and donors for your continued support of our mission.

There are still opportunities to support what we do, whether through a sponsorship, donating a gift basket or item, or simply buying a ticket and joining us.

We can’t wait to celebrate with you and raise funds for our programs supporting veterans and first responders.

American United donated a whole lotta swag, hygiene bags, backpacks and school supplies for us to give to kids in need of backpacks for this upcoming school year. We’ll be distributing them at a local back-to-school event this Thursday in Syracuse. If you’re near Clearfield and need a backpack for your kid, reach out to us and we’ll get you one. Supplies are limited and available until they’re gone.

Thank you, American United FCU, for always helping out and for your continued partnership! We appreciate you! 🙌🏽
