I have the LP "Maui Hawaiians" Trdewinds TS-105. It says that The Maui Hawaiians were also called "The Grey Line Troubadours" The members listed on the LP are as follows:
"Kani" Nahaku, Leader, Steel Guitar, accordion
Leo Villarimo, bass
Hanale Gandall, 'ukulele
Abe Kahookele, 'ukulele
"Tutu" Kanaha, guitar
Nelson Waikik, 'Ukulele Soloist
Not very often do you hear the accordion on a Hawaiian album, but it is featured very prominently on this album.

| Kani Nahaku was a great accordion player. Reminds me of the style in Western Swing. |
