All team pieces, musical accompaniment, props, etc. are ALLOWED. However, the 3 minute time rule will still remain in effect. The feature poet for this show is Jason Carney. He is a four time national poetry slam finalist who  has been on three seasons of HBO's Def Poetry Jam. The Dallas morning news called him the most important poet to come out of the south in the last ten years. Mighty J is a collaborative musical effort between Mailani Makainai (Keahiwai), Tiki Suan (Milo Shade) and Jenn "JRoQ" Wright (Kanalo and Simple Souls). These ladies are passionate about their music and because of their different backgrounds, create a sound that is unique enough to be called "World Music," but also rooted in the soul of Hawai'i.
