Fans of singer-songwriter (and Bay Area native) Aisea Taimani and his band Minor Islands have lots to be grateful for this Thanksgiving. The socially conscious performer comes to the Art Boutiki with his debut full-length album, Closer to Home, set to drop Thanksgiving Day. As the son of immigrants from the Polynesian nation of Tonga, Taimani takes on a variety of highly charged subjects from the struggle for civil rights to social media addiction to his relationship with his mother, all powered by a simmering stew of reggae and R&B.
