[2] The current band consists of Caleb Keolanui on vocals, Ikaika Antone on keys/vocals, Zion Thompson on guitar/vocals, Brad Watanabe on Bass/vocals and Jordan Espinoza on drums/vocals.

Along came the other two core singers, guitarist Zion Thompson and keyboardist Ikaika Antone who had been in a band called Stir Crazy.

When their band split up, the pair came together with the cousins, and all missing their home of Hawaii, formed The Green.

Then they added songwriter Brad Watanabe on bass and producer Leslie Ludiazo on drums.

[4] With four distinct voices with the ability of four separate songwriting talents, and musicianship of "pop-burnished roots reggae style" that they cooked up, The Green quickly became a popular local band on the island.

The EP quickly secured the #1 spot on the iTunes Reggae chart, passing Bob Marley, Shaggy and other heavy hitters along the way.

In 2013, The Green teamed up with producer Danny Kalb to record their third album, Hawai'i '13 at Hurley Studios in Costa Mesa, California.

On October 20, 2017, The Green released their fourth studio album, Marching Orders, through longtime label partner Easy Star Records.

The album debuted at #1 on the Billboard Reggae charts and remained in the Top 10 for over 17 consecutive weeks, regaining the #1 spot multiple times during its run.

[15] On December 20, 2019, The Green released a single titled, "My Hawai'i" which featured fellow multiple time winners of Na Hoku Hanohano Awards Sean Na'auao, Kaumakaiwa, and Kumu Hina.

The band and their label, Easy Star Records donated the proceeds from the track to The Hawai'i People's Fund (HPF), which has helped to support, build capacity, and amplify the impact of grassroots social change movements in Hawaii since 1972.
