“Ohana, you’re so f*cking gorgeous.” That line flashed across the video monitors during Royel Otis’s performance of “Sofa King” and felt like the emotional centerpiece of the night.

Day 2 at Ohana Festival played out like a perfectly built setlist of moods and voices. David Duchovny (yes, that David Duchovny) opened with a gentle presence, Mon Rovîa followed with something sharper and Mdou Moctar stretched guitar lines into hypnotic shapes. Margo Price brought warmth and heart before Royel Otis leaned into their shimmering guitar pop front and center. Tedeschi Trucks Band poured in soul and depth, Rainbow Kitten Surprise balanced drama and playfulness, Leon Bridges whispered smooth nostalgia and Hozier closed things with songs that felt timeless and immediate.
