Jazz at The Shops at Wailea with Angela and Phil Benoit. The Shops at Wailea welcomes back Maui’s own Angela and Phil Benoit to Jazz at The Shops on Wednesday, February 5. The talented jazz duo will perform a free concert in the upper level luxury wing at The Shops at Wailea from 5:30 to 7pm, benefiting the Maui Food Innovation Center. Born in Paia, Angela Benoit has been singing all of her life and has performed professionally for over 20 years. Phil Benoit, a self-taught guitarist who moved to Hawaii in the late ’70’s, has also been performing for over two decades. Together, they have produced four Eps, including the late 2019 release “All Caught Up In You.” They also head up the Maui-based jazz group “Benoit Jazzworks,” playing their original music together in addition to jazz standards, bossa nova, pop and Hawaiian swing. The duo spreads their music across the islands and the world by performing in clubs, concert venues, private house concerts and more all over Hawaii, and touring the west coast annually. In a continued effort to give back to the community, The Shops at Wailea supports a different Maui non-profit each month with a portion of the special event parking fees going to the selected charity.
