Last promo post for the festival. And there are still tickets available: www.funkyfretsukefest.com. The instruments that we have managed to get for the raffle is impressive. And I'll be giving away some of my books as well as a full site membership to LearningUkulele.com.
The Funky Frets Uke Fest is one week away and here is the schedule.
My trio Uke, Bass and Drums will playing a selection of the songs that I just recorded for my upcoming CD How About More Uke?. The 13 songs are in the can and ready to mix, master, press and promote.
There is a teaser of two of the songs that I also recorded as a jazz guitar trio over 10 years ago before I was re-introduced to the ukulele and have become totally engrossed in the uke. It's interesting to hear the difference.
