Red Dirt Whiskey Release Party with Twin Fin

Haleiwa Distilling Company is more than a distiller, it’s a movement born on the North Shore of Oʻahu, where raw beauty, rich history, and rebellious spirit collide. Built from the ground up within the historic Old Waialua Sugar Mill, our distillery is bringing new life to a legendary landmark once at the heart of Oʻahu’s agricultural legacy. What was once a symbol of Hawaii’s plantation era is now home to a bold new chapter in craft spirits. We’re crafting bold, unforgettable experiences that honor Hawaii’s roots while rewriting the rules of what a distillery can be.

Initially formed in post-surf backyard jam sessions on the North Shore of Oahu, Twin Fin has become one of Hawaii's most electrifying rock bands. With a blend of rock, country, and alternative music, their nostalgic melodies and feel-good lyrics have gained them fans all across the world, and they have toured across the U.S.

The Twin Fin story really started when friends Robbie Kelly (vocals, rhythm guitar) and Tyler Schiller (bass) began playing music together in a high school band on California's central coast. After Robbie joined the US Coast Guard and was stationed in Honolulu, Hawaii, he met Chase Digregorio (drums), who quickly became the driving beat behind Robbie's songwriting. After meeting Zack Wilson (lead guitar), the group took their backyard jam sessions to the big stage, opening up for bands such as Ocean Alley, The Expendables, Surfer Girl, and Shwayze. With the addition of Zane Wright (keyboard) and Mike Bennet (2nd lead guitar) Twin Fin has expanded their sonic profile to become a unique blend of rock.
