History Of The Ukulele
The Huntington Beach International Surfing Museum announced its newest exhibit, �History of the Ukulele� which will open May 21 and continue through October 15.
Chronicling a visual history of the ukulele, the exhibit will feature such ukuleles as Duke Kahanamoku, vintage ukuleles, and Swagerty Ukuleles which consisted of the �Kook-A-La-Lee�, a �Kooky-Uke� with an extra long neck. The �Kook-A-La-Lee� was made to play primarily at the beach so it could be stuck in the sand, when not in use. A Rick Griffin cartoon of a surfer shooting the curl and strumming his �Kooky Uke� is printed on many of these ukuleles. Another Swagerty ukulele, �Surf-a-lele�, was designed to be played while riding a surfboard. Vintage photographs, songbooks and ukulele packaging will also be featured.

Uke Noir Cinq (5)
Craig Robertson's Ukulele Noir Cabaret events have always been very special nights of Good Friends, Ukuleles, Good Music, a Great Venue, and Hats! This event will be made more special by new shows, special guests, and our first ever door prize of a KoAloha Ukulele that I will give away at the end of the night.
Host Craig Robertson has assembled some of the areas finest uke players into a truly entertaining show. The line-up for Ukulele Noir Cinq (that is 5 for the French Impaired) includes Craig backed by the Sob Sisters, Rockers Greg Hawkes and Tim Mann, Marko "JazzUkes!" Occhionero, the ever-stylish Davis Sweet, The Ukulele Crooner himself Rick Russo, and Special Guest Les Chauds Lapins.
From the murky depths of New York�s cultural ferment, Les Chauds Lapins rise stately into view. In their hands, small devices -- banjo ukuleles, that curious half breed which combines the banjo snap of early jazz with the sultry sea breeze of the ukulele. On their lips, cryptic incantations from an alternate reality.
Noir Attire is encouraged.

WAITIKI CD release party (BOSTON)
Aloha Friends:
Many of you have asked when tickets would be on sale for our CD Release on Sept. 16 @ the Milky Way. Tickets are now on sale at
Virtuous.
We recommend you purchase tickets ahead as the last show sold out
early due to high interest in hearing the Esquivel music performed in a live setting. We're pretty sure that given our songs about pandas and punctuation, pake restaurants, and a watermelon sacrifice may also invoke large crowds of haoles and Kama'aina alike.
Buy tickets: http://virtuous.com/event/2629542207/

p.s. If you purchase presale [Virtuous] tickets online but haven't arrived by 10pm on the 16th, AND there are people waiting for tickets at the door, the club has informed us of their right
to "sell" your space to folks without presale tickets waiting to get in. Meow. If this happens, you would have to wait for a space to open in the club before being admitted with your presale ticket.
Show officially starts at 9pm.

A lot of ink has been spilled on the younger generation of American Roots musicians who are currently on the scene. There are so many roots and revival oriented string bands out there that it can be hard to tell this Woody Guthrie/Bill Monroe/Jimmie Rodgers clone from that one. A refreshing voice is needed on the scene: subtle yet virtuosic, soulful yet silly and traditional yet progressive. That voice is Boulder Acoustic Society.
The boys from Boulder Acoustic Society rise above clich� by combining their knowledge of roots music styles with a progressive approach to song writing that owes as much to Frank Zappa as it does to Jelly Roll Morton. Their original material captures the essence of traditional music while incorporating their own unique sounds and techniques to create a sound that is both familiar and refreshing. Their blend of jazz and string band music is played on a unique arsenal of instruments, including: violin, guitar, string bass, marimba, ukulele, banjo, mandolin, drums and kazoo. Their instrumental technique ranges from blazing to minimalist and their singing is both sincere and ironic.
Their debut record, "So Many Stars In the Sky," was release in October of 2004 and quickly sold out of 3,000 copies, a difficult task for a new band. In reference to this record, Brad Weisman from the Colorado Daily said, "...(BAS) creates as pleasant and appealing a listening experience as can be imagined...it lifts the art and soul with dynamic energy that comes from a blend of strong, inventive technique and wry, winning charm.
BAS will be playing a string of dates in the Northeast on the heels of their performance at the Nova Scotia Ukulele Festival in Oct.

2nd Annual Joseph Kekuku Hawaiian Steel Guitar Festival
A festival in honor of the late Joseph Kekuku, inventor of Hawaiian Steel guitar, will feature a concert by THE MOONLIGHTERS and other steel guitarists at the restored Baker Vaudeville Theatre, built in 1906.
The funds raised from this event will be used to purchase a monument to honor the memory of Mr. Kekuku. Joseph Kekuku was born in La'ie, Hawaii in 1874 and later in life lived in Dover. He invented the Hawaiian steel guitar at a very young age and traveled around the world demonstrating this pleasing sound. It is believed that Mr. Kekuku was on the vaudeville circuit in the late 1920s when he came to Dover to perform at the Baker. He later moved there and is buried there, but without a monument. This festival is a benefit to purchase a monument for his grave.

The Knockout Uke-Out
Venture down to the nether regions of Mission Street for
4 Rounds
of nonstop Ukulele action!
The Contenders:
Tippy Canoe & the Paddlemen featuring The SWEATers: Play popular music or what the kids call �pop�. Songbird and uke-slinger, Tippy Canoe, is on a mission to bring sincere uplift in a severely down-slanted era. The Paddlemen use their skill with the drum kit, upright bass, violin, mandolin and guitar to conjure up a tight-knit mesh of rhythm and melody. This evening marks the debut appearance of the foxy fuzzy doo-wop sensations The SWEATers...you�ve never seen vocals so tight! http://www.tippycanoe.net
The Dimestore Dandy: Having mastered a full repertoire of cheerful tunes, Rick Quisol a.k.a. The Dimestore Dandy of The Frisky Frolics (vocals, kazoo and ukulele) offers a unique opportunity to travel back to an era when the harsh realities of the Depression were temporarily softened by snappy tunes, droll lyrics and the occasional ferocious kazoo solo. http://www.angelfire.com/jazz/friskyfrolics
The Paper Dolls: Velveeta voiced ukulele vixens, The Paper Dolls, will strut, strum and plunk their way into that place in your heart you thought had died when Pee Wee Herman fell from grace. The hot three-part harmonies delight your ears while their charming frames wear a fashionable feast for your eyes.
Cracker Jack Salteen: Once had a very promising career as a hot dog vendor at Coney Island, but he gave it all up to sail the Seven Seas in search of the perfect stale beer. He picked up the ukulele one fateful night in New Caledonia because it was a much better weapon than a carton of milk, but soon became intoxicated by it's charming sounds. �After a brief stay in an de-intoxication clinic he returned home to sing of the places he had seen, the people he had met, and the things he had stolen. Salteen is available to entertain at weddings, bar mitzvahs and birthdays. �Please consult with his parole officer first.

UKULELE NOIR 13
Texas folk royalty join Ukulele Noir
The irreverent ukulele duo Folk Uke will travel all the way from Austin, TX
to Somerville this month to sing their original music combining sharp biting
wit with sweet harmonies. Folk Uke consists of music royalty Cathy Guthrie
and Amy Nelson, daughters of folk giants Arlo and Willie, respectively.
They've found their own style with songs such as "knock me up" and "sh*t
makes the flowers grow." They are funny, talented and gorgeous, and will
appear at Somerville's SkyBar on March 5 as part of Ukulele Noir.
Ukulele Noir is a monthly cabaret featuring musicians who perform a variety
of styles of music on the versatile ukulele, from doo wop to '80s pop rock,
vintage tunes to original songs about escape artists, murderous hypnotists,
and mermaids. Their motto: small instruments, big trouble. Folk Uke is
this month's special guest. Also performing: impressario Craig Robertson,
founder of Ukulele Noir; Melvern Taylor and the Fabulous Meltones; Rick
Russo and the Mai Tai Serenaders; and more.

New Haven Advocate Presents... Uke Nite!
New Haven's leading news & arts weekly sponsors a monthly music series at a local club, Cafe Nine. This time it's a ukulele special, hosted by Christopher Arnott, who wrote a cover story on "Punk Uke" for the paper in 2003 and plays a green Fluke. The night runs the uke gamut from trad to post-modern. Featured performers include the legendary Jim Beloff himself, New London baritone-uke art-rocker Brian Skidmore, and school-themed punk uke duo School Safety Patrol. There will also be time for some closet uke players (including well-known area guitartists James Velvet and Dean Falcone) to get up and do a song or two. (Contact Arnott at the email shown if you want to join in.)

Uke-Centric Showcase
Thrill to the myriad of sounds plucked by these four-stringed bandits!
TIPPY CANOE & THE PADDLEMEN (Oakland)
http://www.tippycanoe.net
�Tippy Canoe sings these sweet little songs that pull inspiration from early vaudeville and western swing acts of yore. But that is not to say that she's another Lavay Smith or Devil Doll or swing throwback thing. Nope, Tippy Canoe plays the ukulele and sings with a honeyed voice that makes you wanna paint her on the nose of an old WWII bomber plane. Tippy will do totally off-the-cuff songs. Like she'll take a Depeche Mode song and turn it into what she calls 'ukulele-driven doo wop country '20s jazz pop' and it totally works because she approaches the song not with so much camp as with a heartfelt assertiveness and natural confidence.� ERIC SHEA, Zero Mag
CRAIG ROBERTSON of Ukulele Noir (Boston)
http://www.ukulelenoir.com
"The organizer and Master of Ceremonies for the much applauded Ukulele Noir events and a resident of Somerville, Mass., but wait there's more! He performs original tunes about murderous hypnotists, Houdini on the loose, tattooed heartbreakers and the aquatic misfortunes of an actress who should�ve kept her feet on that splendor in the grass. Don�t miss this rare west coast appearance." MILLICENT PERIWINKLE, Mondo-Uko Magazine
UNI & HER UKELELE (San Francisco)
http://www.unicornbread.com
�That Blonde Venus hair, those frilly outfits, that sweet, sweet voice: It could only be Uni & Her Ukelele. The uke's pink, usually, and the girl's obsessed with unicorns; the overall effect is the musical and sartorial equivalent of sucking on a jawbreaker while drinking whiskey straight from the bottle. Although Uni claims both Ol' Dirty Bastard and Stevie Nicks as influences and strays a long, long way from traditional, she does perform a tune called "Mahalo Maui Rose" that brings the old-fashioned plinky romance.� MICHAEL LEAVERTON & HIYA SWANHUYSER , SF Weekly,
CREEKBIRD (Los Angeles)
http://www.myspace.com/kingcreekbird
A one man musical popsicle that can't be licked. A musical young Sherlock Holmes meets R2D2.
�It's hard to describe the style of Creekbird's solo music. Perhaps somewhere between ragtime and new wave (even slipping into J-Pop)? The polar opposite of Nick Cave's moodiness in that he sings songs about carnival acts, monsters, and love with music that seems like something you could share with your grandma.� CHRIS BEYOND, No-Fi Magazine
THE DIMESTORE DANDY of The Frisky Frolics (Alameda)
http://www.angelfire.com/jazz/friskyfrolics
"Rick Quisol a.k.a. The Dimestore Dandy, began singing for tips in the family restaurant and is a veteran of the �sidewalk circuit�. He is an artist on the trap set, guitar, ukulele, banjolele and kanzoo. His vocal training, which added to the beauty of an already naturally gifted voice, was obtained under the tutelage of a prominent Welsh Tenor in Chicago. Outfitted in the�latest Twenties duds, he is a delight to hear and see." excerpt from the widely acclaimed tome: Great Modern Kanzoo Artistes Discuss Sole by Capt. B. Underfoot.

5th Annual Southern California Ukulele Festival
Southern California Ukulele Festival
Friday Evening UKULELE CLUB NIGHT, 10/6, 5:30-9PM
Director Bobby Tomei invites seven "local" LARGE ukulele clubs (2 can be from some distance) to perform 30 minutes each on the main stage. This is a great opportunity for interaction between different uke clubs. Last year approximately 500 participants and spectators enjoyed this free concert.
Saturday Daytime Events 8:30AM-4PM VENDORS: There are over 40 vendors selling food items, Hawaiian/Polynesian items, musical instruments and equipment, T-shirts, programs, etc.
WORKSHOPS: There are over 55 different workshops including beginning, intermediate and advanced ukulele, Hawaiian slack key guitar, hula dancing, playing-singing, Hawaiian language, craft making, etc.
DAYTIME STAGE: Under the Direction of John McDonald there are 14 different selected, performing acts (every 30 minutes) on the Main Stage during the daytime.
Evening Activities (Evening Entertainment Director, Tom Noble)- LUAU 5-6:30PM: Delicious Polynesian food and exciting Hawaiian LUAU. Entertainment provided by the excellent group Le Productions - "Ilima 'O Lei Hula Halau" under Direction of Jr. Montgomery.
GALA EVENING CONCERT 7-10PM: As in years past the Main Stage Evening Concert will host three main acts emphasizing the ukulele (in its different styles). This year we are thrilled to plan on Dan "Soybean" Sawyer who has been a valuable part of previous SoCal Ukulele Festivals. He is a versatile, light-hearted, wonderful musician who scores music for many Hollywood projects. While he enjoys great variety, his ukulele skills are extraordinary! Second, we are flying over the Kimo Hussey Hawaiian quartette called "Hoomalie," which in Hawaiian means "soothing." This foursome blends heavenly voices supported by their own ukulele beauty and skill. Singing in both Hawaiian and English this group specializes in harmonies that sooth and calm the soul. The third act will be that of young spell-binding Canadian ukulele superstar James Hill, who will be making his second appearance on the main stage. James amazingly ranges from "Ave Maria" to "The Flight of the Bumblebee!" Once again we are so proud of the line-up we have gathered.

Dick will perform each day of the convention and also during the Saturday night luau.

The Knockout Uke-Out II
It�s a ukulele slugfest uniting knockouts from the four-corners of the "jumping flea" world. Some charmers write original songs inspired by a love of rock and roll and indie-pop. Other challengers are inspired by Tom Waits and The Tigerlillies' brand of dark humor mixed with jazz and blues. And then there are those contentious ukie-weights motivated by Sixties folk singers or Twenties tin-pan alley artists.
The unifier is the instrument and the idea that all types of music are adaptable to the little four-string wonder.
This year�s Knockout Uke-out features the players from Ukey-Stardust. This was the show where David Bowie�s "Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars" was performed from start to finish--from "Five Years" to "Rock and Roll Suicide"--on ukuleles, saw, bull fiddle, melodeon and drum. This is the chance for those who loved that show to hear these cagey ring warriors exchange blows in their own weight class.

George Fox Middle School Ukulele Ensemble Performance at Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge
On Saturday, March 10th, 2007, the George Fox Middle School Ukulele Ensemble, under the direction of Ben Thompson, will debut a selection of Chesapeake Bay tunes that relate to the mission of the Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge. This performance is scheduled during the seventh annual Eagle Festival and Grand Re-opening of the Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center in Cambridge, Md.
The Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge comprises nearly 27,000 acres of pristine marshlands and forests. It is located in Cambridge, on Maryland�s Eastern Shore. Dubbed the �Everglades of the Mid-Atlantic,� Blackwater is home to dozens of species of birds and mammals, including the endangered Delmarva Fox Squirrel. It is also one of the best spots in the United States to view American Bald Eagles in their natural environment.
The George Fox Middle School Ukulele Ensemble will perform at noon, in the heated, presentation tent. At 1 p.m., a grand opening ceremony will celebrate the return of the remodeled Visitor Center, new exhibits, a second story observatory and library, and new hiking trails. This event is free and open to the public.
Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge is located at 2145 Key Wallace Drive in Cambridge, Maryland.

The `Uke in You Two Workshop
The `Uke in You Two Workshop
Find your Aloha Spirit!!!!
Come, to this free workshop and find out about the funnest instrument ever made, the `ukulele. Fun songs, drinks and all around good time.
Why the `ukulele?
The `ukulele is the happiest, most accessible, and easiest string instrument to learn. Also, `ukulele is the perfect sing along instrument. And by Golly, did I mention the `ukulele is FUN TO PLAY!!! The GCEA C-standard tuning allows a `ukulele player to play the most chords with the least number of fingers required to hold a chord. The `ukulele is small and easy to hold. Thus, it is ideal for new players of all ages. Also, the `ukulele is one of the cheapest string instruments to buy.
We are a volunteer/community service non-profit organization in partnership with the Chicago Park District. We teach two classes on `ukulele (Beginning and Intermediate/Advanced) Beginning `ukulele is for: Adults and children 10 and up. All children under the age of 18 will have to sign a Parental/Guardian Consent form. All classes are FREE, but there are requirements.
Intermediate/Advanced `ukulele is for people beyond Beginning `ukulele. The Free Form hour after both classes is for both Beginning and Intermediate/Advanced `ukulele people.
Bring your `uke, and we will have some fun. If you don't have an `ukulele, I will provide you with one to play. I will give you a demonstration of the different types of music you can play on the `ukulele. You will start playing songs right away, and I will show you the different types of `ukulele there are, and what makes an `ukulele the coolest instrument ever made. I will also outline the `ukulele music program offered by the Nui `ukulele club.
This is a free workshop, come and enjoy the fun.
When? Sunday, June 3rd, 1:00 PM
Where? 1077 W. Polk, Chicago IL 60607
Use www.mapquest.com to find us. Free parking in back and in the school lot.
Why? Because the `ukulele is just too much fun to keep to yourself.
Keep Strumming, Singing, and Smiling,
Aloha,
Terry Truhart

Kimo Hussey and the Nui `Ukulele Club Meeting
Mahalo from the Nui `ukulele Club.
I would like to extend a big mahalo (thank you) to all the people who have attended the workshops and meetings. The time has been joyous and fun. I know you gained a greater appreciation of the different types of music you can play on the `ukulele, and the basics to play a few songs. To those who have not made it yet, don�t worry, I haven�t imposed any restriction yet, so don�t let all the formality scare you.
The next meeting will be at Sheridan Park in partnership with the Chicago Park District.
Where: 910 S. Aberdeen, Chicago IL 60607 (2nd Floor Computer Room)
When: Thursday, June 21st, 2007, 6:30 PM for beginners
7:30 PM for intermediate/advanced
This week we will be have special honored guest, Kimo Hussey, co-author of the �He Mele Aloha� song book. http://www.kimohussey.com This song book is the definitive guide to traditional Hawaiian music with over 250 some songs expressing the scope and breath of the aloha spirit. Kimo also plays a large part with the Pacific Music Foundation (http://www.pacificmusicfoundation.org ) The organization main goal is provide soothing healing music to comfort people.
Also, on Sunday, June 24th we will be discussing vocal warm exercises and finding your key in both the beginning and advanced `ukulele classes.
Where: 1077 W. Polk, Chicago IL 60607
When: 1:00 PM for beginners
2:00 PM for intermediate/advanced
3:00 PM Free Form hour.
Unfortunately, the vocal aspects are skipped over way too much when it comes to `ukulele playing. Your voice is an extension of the over all music ability of your instrument. The `ukulele is to me a harmony instrument. You are supposed to sing along with it. Don�t worry. You don�t have to sound like an angel, or a professional opera singer. You just need to know your range, and how to select songs (keys) that fit your voice.
Don�t Forget the Chicagoland first ukulele festival in over 50 years.

The Ukulele And You-America�s Enduring Love of the Jumping Flea
From August 11, 2007 - Janaury 31, 2008, the Museum of Making Music hosts The Ukulele and You: America�s Enduring Love of the Jumping Flea, a special exhibition dedicated to the history of Hawaii�s versatile instrument.� The ukulele (pronounced oo-koo-ley-ley) has been an object of affection for well over one hundred years.� Promoted as an easy-to-play, portable and fun musical instrument, the ukulele has enjoyed three major waves of popularity on the mainland U.S.� Over the last fifteen years, the instrument has been going through a third wave of interest both in Hawaii and on the mainland.� Today, more and more players are taking the ukulele into diverse musical directions including rock, jazz, classical and punk.� The exhibition also explores how this tiny instrument grabbed the attention of mainland manufacturers in the early 1900s and how they, in turn, promoted it to the general public.� Another focus of the show is the connection of the ukulele to larger trends in social history and pop culture and how it became a symbol of romance and good times.
The Ukulele and You: America�s Enduring Love of the Jumping Flea showcases an unprecedented variety of ukuleles manufactured on the U.S. mainland from the early 1900s on up to the present day.� The eye-popping collection includes over 300 instruments ranging from finely crafted rare and historic ukes made of koa, mahogany and other precious woods to the inexpensive, plastic marvels produced in the �50s and promoted by television star, Arthur Godfrey.� Viewed together they will provide a unique opportunity to look at how this instrument responded to changing tastes and technological innovations.� Finally, this exhibition is an entertaining reminder of just how big a role the small ukulele has played in American music making.
Pieces for this exhibition are drawn from private collections across the country and Hawaii.� The Museum of Making Music closely collaborated on this project with Jim Beloff, author of �The Ukulele: A Visual History,� publisher/arranger of the Jumpin� Jim�s songbook series and his wife Liz Beloff who serve as co-curators of the show; luthier, author, and catalyst of this project Rick Turner; historian-musicologist Fred Fallin; and Andy Andrews co-founder of the Ukulele Club of Santa Cruz. Other collaborators include Jim Tranquada, Rick McKee, Sandor Nagyszalanczy, Dan Scanlan, Don Stewart and the Ukulele Hall of Fame Museum.

Take your senses on an afternoon trip to the Hawaiian islands.

James Hill In Concert
Ever heard of the `ukulele? Sure you have - it's that funny little four-stringed Hawaiian guitar that goes �plunk-a-plunk,� right? Wrong. The `ukulele (pronounced "oo-koo-lay-lay") is hotter than ever, embraced worldwide by a crop of young musicians eager to push the instrument into uncharted territory. Leading the charge is Canada's James Hill, �the Wayne Gretzky of the `ukulele� according to Stuart McLean, host of CBC Radio's Vinyl Cafe. With the release of his third solo album, A Flying Leap, this �imaginative and versatile� 26-year-old virtuoso continues to �tear up the uke� (AcousticGuitar.net). Seven of the album's 10 tracks are genre-bending originals ranging in style from the bluegrass-tinged Song for Cheri to the jazzy Fleas My Dog Has to the remarkable One Small Suite for `Ukulele, an ambitious work in three movements written for `ukulele and string quartet. Displaying a �keen interest in pushing the envelope,� James' �broad musical horizons and crisp, clean playing� prove that �he can play just about anything in any genre� (John Berger, Honolulu Star-Bulletin). A Flying Leap is one part Earl Scruggs, one part Django Reinhardt garnished with a pinch of Don Ho and served with a side of Hendrix.
So how does a kid from Canada become what the Honolulu Star-Bulletin calls a �rare peer� of Hawaii's premier `ukulelists? Nearly 3,000 miles east of Honolulu is James' hometown of Langley, British Columbia, where `ukulele instruction has been mandatory in many schools since the late 1970s and where James was introduced to the `ukulele at the age of nine. He was hooked. During his teenage years he honed his skills as a key member of the renowned Langley Ukulele Ensemble. He embarked on a solo career in 2002 with the release of Playing it like it isn't..., a �beautiful, humorous and virtuosic� debut that saw him �reaching a whole new level� (David Kidney, Green Man Review). His sophomore release, On the Other Hand, would follow in 2003, confirming his place as �one of the world's top composers for the instrument� (Rafe Mair, 600AM Vancouver). In performance, James is energetic and captivating, mixing colourful anecdotes with a versatile repertoire that stretches from Schubert to the Beatles and beyond. He is heard frequently on CBC and NPR National radio, has made TV appearances on The Tony Danza Show, MTV Select, Urban Rush and Studio 4 with Fanny Keifer, and has shared billing with the world's foremost `ukulele players including Herb Ohta (Ohta-San), John King, Lyle Ritz and Benny Chong.
The `ukulele has long been an international affair. An instrument of Hawaiian fame and Portuguese ancestry with a strong following in Japan, Europe and the United States, it's somehow fitting that the uke should find a champion in a young man from Canada. Jim Beloff, author of The Ukulele: A Visual History, calls James' work �a glimpse into the future of the `ukulele� - take a listen and you'll understand why. It's `ukulele... seriously.

Jim Beloff is author and publisher of over a dozen songbooks for the ukulele. He has also released CDs of original music performed on the ukulele and has made a how-to-play video entitled, �The Joy of Uke.�
For more information, visit Jim's website at: http://www.fleamarketmusic.com.
Panel Discussion with John King and Jim Tranquada � 3 p.m.
�Tiptoeing Through the Tulips:� the Surprising Story of the Ukulele in Modern Culture
John King and Jim Tranquada, two highly respected ukulele historians, examine the rich and often surprising history of the ukulele. The panelists will explore lesser-known aspects of the instrument�s early history. They will also address how the ukulele became �the national instrument of Hawaii� within a decade of its arrival in Honolulu, supported by their recent findings in archives in Hawaii and on the mainland. They will discuss how the ukulele became a national fad and flew off music store shelves on the mainland in 1915. The panel will explore how and why the ukulele became a symbol of jazz age teen rebellion in the 1920s and why it was sold in millions during the 1950s. Finally, the panelists will delve into why so many people, still today, fail to take this little four-string instrument from Portugal seriously.
The panel will also include two special guests�the jazz ukulele legend Lyle Ritz and Jim Beloff, the author of The Ukulele-A Visual History and publisher of the Jumpin� Jim�s line of ukulele songbooks.
The panel discussion will be accompanied by a multimedia presentation of rare historic ukulele memorabilia and recordings.
Concert � 7 p.m.
The Ukulele Unusual with John King, Lyle Ritz, and Jim & Liz Beloff
Come and enjoy a variety of ukulele music performed by masters of the ukulele� Lyle Ritz, John King, and Jim and Liz Beloff. The concert will include both familiar and unusual music including pop and Hawaiian standards, classical music and jazz.
About the Performers
Lyle Ritz literally invented the concept of the ukulele as a jazz instrument with his two seminal Verve recordings from the late �50s, How About Uke and 50th State Jazz. Although Lyle is an icon in the ukulele world, he is best known for his work as a bassist. He has played on thousands of legendary recordings with the historic LA studio band the Wrecking Crew. Songs like �Good Vibrations� and �You�ve Lost that Lovin� Feeling� all feature Lyle�s bass playing.
Lyle has recorded four CDs and authored three ukulele songbooks. He was inducted into the Ukulele Hall of Fame in June 2007, the 50th anniversary of his first ukulele album. Performing with his Ko�olau tenor ukulele, Ritz�s repertoire includes classic jazz, pop and bossa nova selections.
John King is a noted ukulele virtuoso and historian. He began playing the ukulele in 1960 while living in Hawaii, receiving his first instruction from his mother, an accomplished amateur. Praised by the Honolulu Advertiser for the �harp-like sound� he coaxes from the ukulele, John King is an applied music teacher at Eckerd College in St. Petersburg, Florida. His recordings of Bach and the music of Hawaii's royal family have been featured on National Public Radio. King will be playing classical Royal Hawaiian 19th century music and will present his hallmark adaptation of Johann Sebastian Bach music for the ukulele.
Jim & Liz Beloff helped to establish the ukulele�s present popularity. Jim is the author of The Ukulele�A Visual History and publisher of the popular Jumpin� Jim�s series of ukulele songbooks. He has also recorded two CDs of original songs performed on the ukulele, produced the Rhino Records compilation CD Legends Of Ukulele, and made two how-to-play videos for Homespun Tapes. In 2004 he released The Finer Things, a recording of sixteen songs he co-wrote with ukulele master, Herb Ohta.
In 1999, Jim and Liz along with sister, Phyllis and brother-in-law, Dale Webb, introduced a new, colorful, low-cost ukulele called the FLUKE (and later the FLEA) that has won admirers all over the world. Their company, Flea Market Music (fleamarketmusic.com), is dedicated to the ukulele and they believe very strongly that �Uke Can Change The World.� Flea Market Music�s ukulele duo will perform their original songs and classic standard sing-a-longs with sophisticated harmonies.

Hawaiian and Jazz entertainer, 'ukulele extraordinaire Bill �Tappy� Tapia will celebrate his 100th birthday and nine decades in music with only one Mainland performance!
Tapia has lived his life as an entertainer for over 85 years and still remains one of the hardest, longest working musicians under the radar. Along with his chops, charm, keen taste in fashion and love of cars comes his flawless mind and sense of humor.
A performer since World War I, Bill has embarked on perhaps the unlikeliest comeback ever over the past few years. His first 2 CDs have scored top 10 on the CMJ Jazz Charts and he continues to sellout shows all over the West Coast and Hawai'i.
"As delightful as it is surprising... Tapia's 86+ year career includes jams with long-gone pioneers of American music, including Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday & Fats Waller. ...Tapia takes his rightful place alongside these greats." - BILLBOARD MAGAZINE

George Fox Middle School Ukulele Ensemble to Perform At "Grand ole Osprey."
Annapolis Maritime Museum presents �Grand Ole Osprey� at Maryland Hall
The Annapolis Maritime Museum will host the first annual �Grand ole Osprey� music and arts program and live auction at Maryland Hall for the Creative Arts on Saturday, December 1, 2007. The event will kick off with a VIP Reception from 5 � 6:30 p.m. followed by a musical program from 7 � 9 p.m.
The Grand ole Osprey is a celebration of the Chesapeake Bay with a wonderfully unique evening of local music, photographic images of the Bay and fun for the whole family,� said Deb Smith, co-chair of the event and an a member of the Museum�s Board of Directors. �This event is in support of the Museum�s ongoing education programs, which serve to connect our students, residents and visitors alike with the maritime heritage of the Chesapeake Bay.�
The program will feature Tom Wisner, the �Bard of the Bay,� whose classic Bay song �Chesapeake Born,� inspired a National Geographic documentary. Tom will be joined by the musicians he�s mentored over the years, Janie Meneely and Paul DiBlasi, and Them Eastport Oyster Boys, who will perform their original songs inspired by the Bay. The Annapolis Chorale, the Annapolis Youth Chorus, the George Fox Middle School Ukulele Ensemble, and the Mt. Zion U.M. Church Gospel Choir will also be on tap, along with a woodwind quintet, which will perform the original classical composition �Thomas Point Suite� by Randy Neilson. The backdrop for all the great music will be provided by award-winning photographer David Harp, whose images of the Bay will be projected onto the screen above the stage.
Actors from Annapolis I Remember will interpret the oral histories of watermen and workers at the McNasby Oyster Company, the last oyster-packing plant in the City. The Museum is currently renovating the historic structure, which will serve as a world-class waterfront educational facility to be called the Bay Experience Center. Proceeds from the event will help support the Maritime Museum�s educational programs and future development.

"Nothing adequately prepares for the way in which her deeply personal album instantaneously envelops and never loses its grip.... The title song and others bring to mind no less than early solo McCartney and Brian Wilson's SMiLE.... One of those near-perfect hidden gems..."
-- Relix
Versatile violinist, vocalist, and songwriter Rebecca Zapen's first musical memory was that of sitting under the baby grand piano as a toddler, her ears filled by the sounds of her mother playing Chopin, Beethoven, and Mozart. Her college years were filled with opera, orchestra, chamber music, and late night jazz jams. The journey continued to twist and unfold, rich in varied musical experiences: Tom Waits tunes via CB radio and Celtic harp, a four-year trip to the Old World in Klezmania, spoken word with eclectic folk, Gypsy jazz. She walks her present path as a performer of range and depth: a classically-trained violinist, a jazz crooner/violinist in quartet ZapStar, and an award-winning songwriter/composer. Rebecca's dreamy, ethereal vocals swoon and sweep atop sublime melodies and infectiously charming lyrics, instantly hypnotic and effortlessly charming. Accompanying herself on ukulele, guitar, and violin, and joined by double bass, string section, and dobro, Zapen's music is mellow, creative, happy, and smart.

Ukulele Workshop with OHTA-SAN
A prodigy of Eddie Kamae at age 12, he began performing at age 15. His love for the 'ukulele has lasted decades. With a desire to create a fuller sound as a solo artist, Ohta-san was the originator of the low G string to expand the 'ukulele's lower note abilities to reach more complex genres of music such as jazz, pop, classical, Latin, Japanese, Broadway tunes, and sweet ballads. With further creative intent, percussion techniques were devised and new sounds were discovered. With over 20 years as guest instructor at University of Hawai'i, Manoa, his own school of 'ukulele, and many years instructing semester-long courses and workshops, Ohta-san enjoys sharing the capabilities of the 'ukulele with others. From the correct holding position, tunings, songs, techniques: he will answer questions, and discuss the history of the instrument from his perspective. Spend an hour with Ohta-san and you will come away with a new appreciation for the 'ukulele and it's capabilities and a better understanding of this humble, humorous and incredibly talented Hawaiian music legend.

Bill Tapia (Special Guest Appearance!) - Jazz Concert
THE RICHARD GLASER BAND
with featured guest, Bill Tapia
$15.00 pre-sale / $17.00 at the door
http://www.richardglasermusic.com/
The Richard Glaser Band is "...original, honed, straight-ahead jazz. Utterly out-of-sync in a city long grown accustomed to artificial beauty, the band is the real deal - an exceptional trio of artists coming into their own through their own particular way." - Jesse Torres, music critic
"One of the finest young jazz groups in Southern California....enlivened by imaginative arrangements and first-rate musicianship!" - Russell Ferrante of the Yellowjackets
"Bill Tapia, at the age of 100, a living link to the Hawaiian music of a century ago, but he is also a virtuoso Jazz musician and a thoroughly engaging entertainer on stage. If nothing else, the chances are slim to none you'll find another entertainer anywhere in the world who can introduce a song as "something I learned during World War I."

Wine Country Ukulele Festival (updated)
Friday, October 10
Dancing Under the Stars
In the Golden Days of Waikiki, songbird Emma Veary serenaded the dancers in the Monarch Room of the Royal Hawaiian Hotel, Waikiki�s Pink Palace. We�ve got the next best thing. We will take you back to those nights of �Dancing under the Stars� and the golden age of Hawaiian music at our own version of �the Royal� (a.k.a. Tucker Farm Center) for an evening of wine tasting, elegant dining, and dancing as we are serenaded by Emma Veary�s daughter, Robyn Knuebuhl. In addition to her beautiful voice, Robyn may also grace us with a hula or two. Other featured performers for the evening include Napa Valley�s own Makai Gents (featuring local �ukulele ring leader and noted winemaker: Judd Finkelstein) and the first-ever public performance of the Napa Haoles. A lei greeting at the door is available for $30 additional, paid in advance.
6:30 � 11:00 p.m. $85.00 per person or $500 for a table for 6
Cooking with Keoki
This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to cook with Grammy-award winning musician Keoki Kahumoku (renowned in the kitchen and on the stage) will leave you begging for more: lomi salmon, kalua pig, laulau, poke, haupia, and, of course, poi. Rumor has it that Keoki will be bringing some of his free-range, macadamia-nut-fed pork with him from the Big Island to share. As they say in Hawai�i: �It broke da mouth.� Space is very limited for this very special, very authentic event, so please sign up early. For the full experience, be sure to join us for the �Ukulele Luau on Saturday, as well.
1:00 � 4:00 p.m. $35.00
�Ukulele�s at the Market
Join us for a free �ukulele performance at the St. Helena Farmer�s Market in Crane Park.

�Ukulele Festival Extraordinaire
Fun for the whole family with free performances all day long on the Main Stage and our very own International Marketplace where you�ll find everything from Hawaiian-style shave-ice to the finest hand-made �ukuleles. And don�t miss out on a chance to win something wonderful to take home�including, of course, a number of beautiful �ukuleles�at our prize drawing.
Do you have an old �ukulele in the closet that used to belong to Uncle Harry? Bring it along and find out what it�s worth at our �Ukulele Roadshow. And if you have some working instruments gathering dust in a closet, bring them in to exchange for raffle tickets. We�ll make sure your old trombone winds up in deserving hands.
And we�ll have workshops for those looking to improve their skills. Want to learn to hula? Or has your �uwehe lost its pop? Never strummed an �ukulele before? Or do you long to shred like Jake Shimabakuru? Need a clue on slack key? Or do you simply need some fine tuning? Want to twist your tongue around humuhumunukunuku � pua�a? Or would you just like to string a lei? In any case we�ll have enough workshops available to keep you busy all day long.
With a $45 workshop pass you can attend any number of classes offered through-out the day with some of the finest musicians available: Keoki Kahumoku; Herb Ohta, Jr.; James Hill; KonaBob Stoffer; Mark Kailana Nelson; Ralph Shaw; and Robyn Knuebuhl.
We�re also offering an $85 family pass (no more than 3 members per family, please) that will get you into workshops on Kid�s �Ukulele, Hawaiian Stories & Keiki Hula, Building and Playing a One-String �Uke, Lei Making, Hawaiian Crafts, and more enlightening activities from Nimbus Arts. (Some crafts will require an additional materials fee.)
Closing the day on the main stage, we�ll be sponsoring a �Crazy G Face-Off,� where those holding workshop passes will be able to pit their skill against each other in an ever-faster rendition of �Crazy G.� Through the process of elimination, the last �ukulele player standing will win a brand-new �ukulele. Download the tab for �Crazy G� from http://dominator.ukeland.com/Images/crazy_g_live.pdf and start practicing!
9:00 a.m. � 5:00 p.m.

Workshop passes are limited, so please order yours early.

After the festival, join the festival musicians at Nimbus Arts� home base in the St. Helena Marketplace for a traditional Hawaiian Luau prepared by Keoki Kahumoku and crew. Music and entertainment will be provided Island-style�so bring your instruments and be ready to sing. Enjoy, too, snippets of great �ukulele moments in film brought to you by David Garden of White Barn Film Festival fame. Sign-up early, this is sure to sell-out.
5:00 � 7:00 p.m. Adults $25 /Kids (12 & under) $15
Grand Finale
After dinner, hurry on down to the Tucker Farm Center where we�ll be rocking and rolling all night long with this amazing line-up of �ukulele talent. We�ve come a long way since Arthur Godfrey and Tiny Tim so you can forget all your preconceptions about the �ukulele and be prepared to be amused and amazed by the lightening-quick fingers of Herb Ohta, Jr., Keoki Kahumoku, Ralph Shaw, and James Hill, who each bring a different voice and style to this tiny, oft-maligned, four-stringed instrument.
8:00 � 11:p.m. $30.00 ($35 at the door)

Ukulele SPOOKTACULAR Jam
Join us if you dare
for OUR Halloween scare...
As the Witching hour draws near,
The full moon glows with fear...
The bats have all taken flight
in celebration of Halloween night!
Join us for a SPOOKTACULAR UKULELE JAM!
A costume party.....probably not...but you can dress-UP your Ukulele.
We will be in a new location: The Olive Garden! (But not just ANY Olive Garden: This location is the ONLY Olive Garden that has a private room!)
There is a $20 cost for the room -- We will pass the hat at the event to cover the room charge, so the more who come the less expensive it will be! So plan on an extra dollar or two on top of your meal. And it will be worth it. In addition to being completely private, there's no music being broadcast through the speakers, so we can make our own music without competition!
Plan to arrive around 6:30pm - for those of you who will be eating.
We will start our jam between 7:30pm and 8:00pm and play until 9:30pm.
It would simply be Ghoulish to miss this jam!

There will be a two hour workshop with Pops Bayless himself from 2-4 pm the afternoon before the concert -- $30 per person. This should be very nice!

Beginners - FREE Workshop - Dallas Tx
GREAT NEWS! We have had an "influx" of new members. Most of which have never strummed the instrument or who are guitar players and not familiar with the Uke.
This has presented a wonderful opportunity for "us" to pass on the joy of Ukulele.
If the above sounds like YOU, then this workshop was created with YOU in mind.
Learn to play with others of "like" skill sets. In a safe and nurturing environment.
While this workshop is "geared" towards "beginners", players of ALL skill levels are welcome to come and offer support.
WHO: The Workshop will be lead by none other than, Mark "Twang"
Levine, who is the creator and founder of Dallas Ukulele
Headquarters. Mark is self taught and has been playing for some 10
years. Known for his humor and Ukulele jokes, Mark really puts
the "FUN FACTOR" into learning Ukulele.
WHERE: We have a NEW LOCATION - in Carrollton, TX. Rawlings Custom Jewelry and Design. A jewelry store you might ask!? Well, you have to see the "space" to understand why we chose it. "Unique" is the word
that comes to mind.
The location is a private space - attached to the jewelry store yet
separate - a LARGE space with a gas burning Fireplace - AND the "fire will be burning". Back in the rear of the room is a bar. Did you really think we wouldn't be having fun at this workshop???
This means we will ALSO be having a FREE wine tasting with horderves.
Wine helps ease the nerves and opens our senses so we can more
effectively learn.
TIME: 3:00pm - 6:00pm
COST: There is no cost for this workshop. However, we ask that you purchase the book, Jumping Jim's Ukulele Tips "N' Tunes. This is the book that we will be using for our class. The book can be purchased via Noel Tardy - who is the Authorized Dealer for Dallas Ukulele Headquarters. The cost of the book is $ 14.95+ tax ($1.23) = $16.18. You can reach Noel via email at info@ukeladymusic.com . Please
contact Noel prior the workshop so that she can ensure that you will have a copy. She will make arrangements with you on delivery of the book.
WHAT TO BRING: Ukulele, kazoo, having your own tuner would be a plus, but not required. Music Stand (if you have one - not required)
If you don't have a kazoo we will have some available for you to
purchase at the workshop, prices range from $1.50 - $2.00.
SO, if you've never strummed, or are new to the instrument. Have
played the guitar but not so familiar with the Ukulele, this workshop is for you. Let Mark's passion for the Ukulele inspire YOU! But most of all, come and have FUN!

HAPPY 101st BIRTHDAY BILL...
San Pedro will once again celebrate the longevity and legend of Bill Tapia who, at 101, is the world's oldest performing musician! Tapia turned 101 January 1st of this year, and wants to share his good fortune with all of his friends and fans.
A virtuoso musician and thoroughly engaging entertainer on stage, Tapia has been delighting audiences with his jazz chops and sharp wit over the last nine decades. Chances are slim to none you'll find another entertainer anywhere in the world who can introduce a song as "something I learned during World War I" and then jump into his unique version of "Stars and Stripes Forever" which he came up with in 1918 at the age of ten...
Join Paniolo Productions and the Grand Vision Foundation on Saturday, February 28 for two inspiring back-to-back concerts. Tapia will perform with a few of LA's top jazz musicians and sing to beautiful Hawaiian dancers.
"As delightful as it is surprising... Tapia's 90-year career includes jams with long-gone pioneers of American music, including Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday and Fats Waller. ...Tapia takes his rightful place alongside these greats. He retains a sharp improvisational skill and capable instrumental ability..." BILLBOARD MAGAZINE
TWO SHOWS! These will sell out, so buy early!

The ukulele is one of the easiest instruments to learn � before you know it, you�ll be toting your uke everywhere to entertain your friends. With very few basic skills, you'll be able to play your favorite songs in any style. The instructors will present a simple way of understanding music and how to use good practice habits to improve quickly. All workshop attendees are provided with Tripping Lily's ukulele record "Ukulily," along with chord charts to each song.
Harvard Square's Club Passim has a School of Music for adults. In addition to this workshop, we also offer classes, including: mandolin, guitar, music theory, harmonica, banjo, voice, fiddle, and more.

Greetings Ukulele Club Members,
This gathering will be BOTH a FREE Beginners Workshop AND a Jam Session held at a FABULOUS upscale restaurant, Popolo�s Cafe! But fear not: Kathy negotiated a great package that will allow us to sample a champagne meal at a beer budget:
We had such a great turn out at the FREE Beginners Ukulele Workshop last month, that we are going to CONTINUE with the Key of �G�. Last class we focused on the Key of �C�.
If you are a BEGINNER and did not attend the last workshop � no problem.
Before you leave THIS CLASS you will be strumming!
So come and join us.
WHO: The Workshop will be lead by none other than, Mark "Twang" Levine, who is the creator and founder of Dallas Ukulele Headquarters. Mark is self taught and has been playing for some 10 years. Known for his humor and Ukulele jokes, Mark really puts the "FUN FACTOR" into learning Ukulele.

Are you tempted by the sweet sound of the ukulele? Learn to play with Greg Hawkes. Strum your way to fun! The ukulele is becoming more popular than ever and it's fun to play!
If you've recently acquired a ukulele and would like to learn to play, or if you already know a few chords and would like to expand your technique and repetoire, then this is the class for you. We'll start by learning some basic chords and strums, then start playing some songs. Each week we'll learn new songs and chords. The only requirement is a ukulele and a desire to have fun.

Tough Times Don't Last; Ukuleles Do
As the modern world crumbles around us, one musical instrument stands tall, as tiny as it is: the ukulele. Its happy-go-lucky sound has been bringing cheer since its heyday in Hawaii, its other heyday in the 1920s, and its third and fourth heydays in the 50s and 60s.�Topping the bill is the essential Jumpin' Jim Beloff. Also, Joel "Ukulele Eck" Eckhaus, Danno Sullivan, and Davis Sweet.

============== SPONSOR UPDATE ===================
If you are still trying to decide to register for the Hawaii State Society of Washington, DC first Hawaiian Slack Key Guitar and Ukulele Weekend Workshop and Concert [October 9-11], you need to read further.
We just received the kind word from KoAloha Ukulele that they are going to donate two KoAloha 'ukulele to our workshop: 1 concert and 1 soprano. Very auspicious since all three musicians who will be teaching at this great weekend all play KoAloha 'ukulele.
The first 50 paid student registrants, including those who have already registered, will be eligible for a free drawing for the KoAloha soprano ukulele. What a deal for you 'ukulele enthusiasts, huh? Pay $425 for student registration and have a 1/50 chance of receiving a free KoAloha soprono 'ukulele. And you'll be in a place to have these great artists autograph it for you, if you like. [Workshop Student Registration Form: http://www.hawaiistatesociety.org/workshop/HSS%20Workshop%20Registration%20Form%20v1.1.pdf]
The other 'ukulele will be offered as a silent auction at the concert that Sunday, October 11, 9-11pm. To be eligible for the silent auction, you must attend the concert. The auction will close at the end of the concert intermission. I will announce the winnder of the silent auction sometime during the 2nd half of the concert. The winner must make payment for the 'ukulele that night. [Concert ONLY purchase form: http://www.hawaiistatesociety.org/workshop/HSS%20Concert%20Ticket%20Request%20Form%20v1.1.pdf]

Boulder Acoustic Society Playing at the Coffee Gallery Backstage in Altadena (Near L.A.)
BOULDER ACOUSTIC SOCIETY....Bob Stane Says: Ethereal, orchestral. Catch this show. This is an encore. a four piece band with a new take on American Roots Music. Aaron, Brad, Kailin and Scott are accomplished multi-instrumentalists who captivate audiences with guitar, fiddle, string bass, marimba, ukulele, percussion, banjo and mandolin. Their deep respect for tradition, passion for innovation and intriguing instrumentation creates a remarkable and memorable listening experience. The music is modern and accessible, subtle yet virtuosic and serious yet light hearted. BAS is known all over North America for their genre-blending song writing, amazing improvisation and intimate, personal vocals. "Here, for us, is the future of String Band Music on a silver platter." Darol Anger.
Boulder Acoustic Society.
As their name implies, this young quartet specializes in all things acoustic: fiddles, ukuleles, accordions, upright basses. What you might not glean from their name, however, is that these guys tackle the traditions with the gusto of a group of rabble-rousing punks. It’s grit meets grace, Colorado-style.
B.A.S.’s music is intense and exciting for listeners, with something new and interesting at every turn. The energy that B.A.S. brings to a stage can tip a festival into overdrive or mesmerize a club audience as they dance into the wee hours. All of this comes from four guys who wear vintage clothes, savor small batch bourbon and rock the ukulele.
IF you've never seen B.A.S. this is a rare opportunity in L.A.'s backyard. Crazy talented musicians from Boulder, Co.
Tickets: $18.00

VICTORIA VOX...with special operetta guests LILA BLOOM play Altadena (Near L.A.)
Victoria Vox only comes to California once per year and her fave spot is The Coffee Gallery Backstage. She has an enthusiastic following of admirers and she is cute and funny and does great things with the uke. She is featured at ukelele festivals all over America. Victoria Vox says that sad songs are harder to come by on the ukulele. Actually, there are a couple of heartbreak themes on her newest album, Chameleon, but surrounded by the ukulele and other contemporary sounds, the end result is a bright and enchanting pop record.
Vox graduated from The Berklee College of Music with honors and a degree in songwriting -- releasing a handful of DIY, guitar-driven albums before a friend gave her the 4-stringed instrument. It proved to be the perfect new partner for her rich voice and changed the way she wrote and arranged music.
Her first ukulele driven record, Victoria Vox and Her Jumping Flea was funded by fan donations and released in 2006. The refreshing disc was well received, and featured on NPR’s “To The Best of Our Knowledge,” while songs were featured on television and in independent movies. Vox has also been awarded runner-up and First Place in the International Acoustic Music Awards and also included in Relix Magazine’s list of artists to watch.
Vox, who lives in Baltimore now, has been averaging 150 dates for the past several years. “I'm finding that non-ukulele listeners are converted daily,” she says. “It's really fun to give people what they weren't expecting.” Not that Vox is the only current artist to slip in a little ukulele -- which seems to be on the cusp of comeback? But, the singer-songwriter is dedicated to the tiny instrument, and maybe, just maybe helping make it cool again. Plus...
LILA BLOOM..."An eerie voicemail left at the wrong number sparked the story for the project now called Lila Bloom, which focuses on a lover looking back on the inception, growth, and demise of a relationship. An operetta of sorts featuring haunting yet sultry vocals by the part of the female lover, and equally stinging guitar licks by the part of the male lover, Lila Bloom has a sound all its own. Lila Bloom is from Denver, Colorado, and has a total of four members which will be performing at the Coffee Gallery Backstage."
"Lila Bloom is a Denver-based act with roots in Jazz, Folk, and Alternative Rock. The band performs the original "Say You'll Stay" operetta; a project sparked in May 2008 when an eerie voicemail left by an old woman ("Eloise") at the wrong number spoke of dreams, love, and death by "little songs". Eloise is scattered throughout the lyrics of the operetta, watching over the two lovers as they look back over the inception, growth, and demise of their relationship.
Lila Bloom performs the sultry vocals of the operetta, while the stinging licks of the guitar intertwine. It creates a harmony that caresses the audience and entices each person want to "stay the night". Ken Crow plays the guitar, Aaron Ainbinder plays bass, and Emily backs up Ms. Bloom's vocals, adding a haunting echo and harmony to the operetta. A sultry passion play of music in just under an hour. A fine two act show.
Tickets: $18.00

Uke-Slinger Tippy Canoe in �The Cupcake Diaries, Part 3�
The Show is Free and All Ages
Tippy Canoe and AntonetteG return with �The Cupcake Diaries, Part 3��The Mid Atlantic Mess Around Tour
The Cupcake Diaries bring you sister-like harmonies and a merry-go-round of guitar, ukulele, washboard and bass that propel their Americana sound
Antonette Goroch and Michele Kappel-Stone (aka AntonetteG and Tippy Canoe) are set to tour the Mid-Atlantic! They will be performing solo sets, then finish each performance as a duo dubbed �The Cupcake Diaries�. They formed the name �The Cupcake Diaries� when on tour together in the Pacific Northwest. The tour�s final destination: A cupcake bakery in Olympia, WA...and the name stuck. They each have a background in power-pop and melodic punk which adds a sharp edge to their sweetness. Catch a show and be a part of the next chapter in their adventure! (See tour dates below).
Former Baltimore native, now based in Oakland, CA, songbird and solo uke-slinger/guitarist, Tippy Canoe made the switch from a 5-piece drum kit with the garage-pop princesses The Kirby Grips (Sympathy For The Record Industry), to a 4-stringed ukulele in 2003. In 2009 she upped the string count and added guitarist to her resume. She�s on a mission to bring sincere uplift in a severely down-slanted era by spreading her hook-laden pop-meets-roots music.
Praise for Tippy Canoe�s record, �Parasols and Pekingese�:
�Quirky country, sensual lounge music, call it what you will: Tippy Canoe & the Paddleman�s �Parasols & Pekingese� is an alternative to popular country acts and a challenger to alternative sensations such as Neko Case.��Any Give Tuesday (SEN Baltimore)
AntonetteG is a singer, songwriter, mother, writer and world traveler. A vocalist and storyteller since the age of 5, she has delved into various musical styles including opera, musicals, rock, classical, country, folk and blues. Though she has been compared to other contemporary indie folk artists such as Neko Case, Penelope Houston and Mazzy Star, Antonette draws from this broad base of influences for a sound both pleasingly familiar and yet at once all her own.
�AntonetteG�s material reveals a variety of influences. The song �My Horseshoe� has a country flair, while �Pretty Pictures� shows her rock side. �No Joy For The Soldier� suggests a Creedence Clearwater Revival influence. The song describes military personnel struggling to adjust when they return from battle, a timely topic given our nation�s wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.��John Larson, Tacoma Weekly

Meat 'n Taters Ukulele Building Class
I�ve cleared the calendar to schedule a five day ukulele building class this summer! This was the class that launched the Folk School.
Join the ever growing list of folks that learned to build ukes with us.
Participants in the ukulele construction class will each build a mahogany soprano ukulele with a Spanish heel.
Geoff�s construction method utilizes jigs and fixtures to ensure that student�s are able to build a high quality instrument.
This ukulele�s design is not a copy of a period uke, but is based upon the best of several great 1920s instruments including Martin, Gretsch and Indiana�s own, Frank Bremerman.
More importantly students will leave the class with the skills required to design and build ukuleles on their own. Many Blue Stone alumni have built several ukuleles on their own.
Materials include everything needed to build and play the uke including, mahogany for backs, sides and neck, ebony for fingerboard and bridge, natural bone for nut and bridge saddle, Grover Champion tuners and Aquila Nylgut strings.
Some students may have an opportunity to finish their instruments with Tru-oil, a quality, easy to apply oil finish. Other finishing option will be discussed.
This class is loads of fun. There will be opportunities to play evenings. Come to Indiana and immerse yourself in ukulele goodness!

The Ukuladies CD Release Party!
Hello all!
The Ukuladies are celebrating their brand new (and first ever) CD "The Ukuladies Greatest Hits Volume II" this Saturday at Jalopy in Red Hook, Brooklyn.
The evening will start at 9pm with the extraordinary beatboxer Adam
Matta and bellydancer extraordinaire, Sarah Locke of Alchemy Dance to get things heated up!
We'll be playing our favorites, some new songs, and some old songs
that no one really likes but us.
Bacon, lotto tickets, cookies, cheap champagne and other treats will also per usual be plentiful.
Here are the details:

Here's what audiences and critics...yeah that's right....critics...are
saying (and we only had to pay them in bacon):
"There was so much going on onstage both musically and visually at all times, that you’d have to see the show at least twice just to catch half the action. The performance was zany, smart, musically spot-on
and action-packed – full of sass and spunk...Simply amazing. It’s
difficult to imagine a more complete and fun-filled evening of
entertainment." (Times Union)
And some other audience reactions:
"Bravo to The Ukuladies!! We had such fun at your show -- we would
have stayed for a THIRD set had you prepared one!! Great harmonies,
funny lines, creative arrangements -- it was just so much FUN! Thank
you!!"
You guys were freakin’ hilarious!"
"We’re still talking about you today. What a great, great time. We
can’t wait to see it again!"
"That was some of the most fun I’ve had at a concert in a while. You
dudettes are awesome!"
“That was the best 15 bucks I’ve ever spent on entertainment!”

"Give A Little" The 2010 Shoreline Soup Kitchen & Pantries Fundraising Concert
�GIVE A LITTLE": RAISING A RECORD $50K AT BENEFIT CONCERT FOR THE SHORELINE SOUP KITCHEN & PANTRIES�
Last December�s win-win situation for the Shoreline Soup Kitchen & Pantries started with a song and a dream: a team of musicians dreamed of their benefit concert at the Kate raising money for at least 25,000 meals. In reality, with the help of matching funds, a total of 54,304 meals resulted from those proceeds.
This year, the stakes (and ambitions) are higher: the goal is 100,000 meals. But even more is possible: this year, if the concert can raise $25K, that amount will be matched, resulting in 200,000 meals. Of course, this requires an unprecedented and magnanimous spirit of cooperation. The Shoreline Acoustic Underground and The Small Town Concert Series are teaming up again to put on its third annual benefit concert for the Shoreline Soup Kitchen & Pantries (SSK&P).
EVERY CENT GOES TO THE SOUP KITCHEN!
On Saturday, December 18th, at 8:00 PM, The Katharine Hepburn Cultural Arts Center in Old Saybrook (�the Kate�) hosts this worthy SSK&P benefit. Tickets are $20 - $40 and refreshments are provided (by generous community donors). As before, proceeds will 100% benefit the worthy nonprofit. The concert is made possible by the continuing generosity of Wyeth Architects, LLC, and AcousticMusic.org (who are underwriting production costs).
The eclectic musical lineup will include many genres: bluegrass, folk rock, classic pop, Americana, soft rock, and jazz. Reprising last year�s appearances will be the Moving Target band, Lauren Agnelli (Grammy -Nominated with a former band), State Troubadour Lara Herscovitch, CT folkies Ebin-Rose, Jack Caldwell, singer/songwriters Eric & Sandra Lichter, The King and Queen of Shoreline Ukulele, Jim and Liz Beloff, and more. The musicians are donating all their performances to the cause.
Including the proceeds from the 2009 benefit show ($14,000), since 2005 the Shoreline Acoustic Underground has raised nearly $36,000 for the SSK � in part by selling two CDs of music (Soup�s On! And Food For Thought: Benefits for the Shoreline Soup Kitchen) in addition to selling tickets for several holiday-time benefit concerts.
�For the second SSK Benefit CD, the Clinton Rotary assumed all production costs, which was sweet,� Brian Wolfe, is a musician, songwriter and spokesperson for the SAU, a small group of acoustic musicians who believe in giving back to the community in the way that they can: through their music.
PERFORMERS AND THE PEOPLE WORKING TOGETHER
Since 2007, Small Town Concert Series, based in Chester, has produced 30+ shows, many benefiting local causes. Matthew Male, concert producer, promoter, drumbox player and co-founder of STCS, believes in the power of music and entertainment: �STCS is happy to be working together with more likeminded musicians for a very worthy common cause; nobody should go hungry in this land of plenty.�
As SSK&P Executive Director Patty Dowling says, �The Shoreline Acoustic Underground & The Small-town Concert Series will once again join together to raise funds for The Shoreline Soup Kitchens & Pantries holding a concert at The Kate in Old Saybrook on December 18th. This local group represents musicians, producers, and promoters all coming together to help those who are their neighbors.
�We, at the soup kitchens, are so grateful for the hard work and commitment of this group, and all those who are supporting the event. Because of the generosity of Wyeth Architects, who is sponsoring the event, all monies raised will go to providing meals for those in need. This year�s goal is 100,000 meals or $25,000!�
We all � the musicians, the organizers, the SSK&P � extend gratitude to all those who attend the event, making it a repeated success. As it is, once again, the holiday season of giving and light, we are all thankful that we have what we need. If we can all just �Give a Little . . .� let�s help those in need!
So, eat, drink, and be giving while you enjoy fine original songs and memorable performances on Saturday, December 18th, 8 PM at the Kate. Please come � and bring a friend.

James Hill in Concert
With the exploding excitement for the resurrected popularity of the instrument, "ukulele lifer" James Hill is at the forefront of the revolution. His fret-burning, uptempo stylings show why Canadian Folk Music calls James "truly amazing... a serious virtuoso upon the instrument."
In November of 2009, his CD collaboration with Anne Davison, True Love Don't Weep, climbed to #2 on Canadian Folk Radio charts. There's even a much-anticipated James Hill Signature Model Ukulele � the product of a close collaboration between James Hill and Derek Shimizu of the GString Ukulele Company.
James Hills' music is heard frequently on CBC and NPR National radio and he has made TV appearances on The Tony Danza Show, MTV, Urban Rush and Studio 4 with Fanny Keifer, and has shared billing with Jerry Douglas, Robert Cray, Lyle Lovett and more.

Connecticut knows her as a co-founder of the Small Town Concert Series in Chester (known for its annual Leonard Cohen tributes). Christopher Arnott wrote an influential cover story on �Punk Uke� for the New Haven Advocate in 2003. He�s working on a uke version of the play �Doctor Faustus.� His version of �96 Tears � on uke has driven strong men to tears. Expect special guests! Tickets $5.00
