A local music segment on Hawaii's Island Night Live spotlights Chardonnay performing an original song called "Hawaiian Hammah" — light entertainment, not news.

• Chardonnay performs the roots-and-rhythm track live on KITV's Island Night Live "white Wednesday" segment.
• The song is a shout-out to Isaiah Tavares, known as the Hawaiian Hammer.
• The lyrics play on "hammer" as a symbol of toughness, farming roots and West Side Oahu pride, with a nod to mixed Filipino, Portuguese and Hawaiian heritage.
• The segment is sponsored by the Board of Water Supply and followed by a travel ad for Alaska land-and-cruise packages.

Outlook: Expect more local artists in the same weekly live music slot.
