Jason Momoa is getting into the groove with his band!
The Chief of War actor, 46, gave fans a glimpse into a recent atmospheric performance he and his band, ÖOF TATATÁ, gave at Blue Note Hawaii — including an adorable moment between himself and his partner, Adria Arjona.
The March 17 gig saw Momoa alongside bandmates Mike Hayes and Kenny Dale rocking out in St. Patrick's Day beads and mood lighting.
"Mahalo nui loa for all the Aloha at Blue Note Hawai'i," Momoa wrote in the caption of his post on Instagram. "Nothing like playing in Hawai‘i, surrounded by ohana & music. Grateful for everyone who came out and celebrated St. Patrick’s Day."
One of the snaps Momoa included was a wholesome photo of Arjona, 33, grinning as she hugged him off stage. Momoa, shirtless, returned the embrace, with his intricate forearm sleeve tattoo on display. The pair have been romantically linked publicly since May 2024.

Momoa previously opened up to PEOPLE about the nerves he experiences while performing live. Having never acted on stage, Momoa often embraces the vulnerability of not having a do-over, like with film or television.
"It gives me an opportunity to have two hours to really be scared," Momoa said, adding, "It is kind of nice being scared and to just entertain people that way. It's been fun to experience that."
"Being with a live audience, it's not my background," Momoa continued. "It's rejuvenating. You get that energy back from fans, so it's cool because, when you're acting, you shoot something, it's good right then, and you don't see it for two years."
"This has that instant gratification of being there with everybody, and so it is a new experience for me," he said.

Momoa plays bass guitar in the band, whose name translates to "Oof, Almost" in Māori, the Eastern Polynesian language of the Māori people. Hayes plays the guitar and acts as the lead singer, while Dale plays the drums for the group.
"These are my best friends," Momoa said. "They've been playing for the last 20 years, and they actually taught me how to play guitar and how to play drums."
