Impact 2012 Festival: The Jon Braman Band July 27, 2012

Since finding (literally) his instrument of choice in 1995, NYC-based singer-songwriter Jon Braman carries and plays the ukulele everywhere he goes. The Jon Braman Band is a truly one-of-a-kind musical experience going down right now in NYC. Without exaggeration, you have never heard anything quite like this, and are almost guaranteed to get hooked on the first listen. Braman was dubbed ‘Father of ukulele hip hop’ in 2007 by the Washington City Paper, has opened for reigning ukulele world champion, Jake Shimabukuro at Gramercy Theater, is the resident songwriter for WBAI’s Artsy Fartsy show (99.5 FM) and co-hosts’ NY’s hottest underground cross-genre jam-session, ‘The Melting Pot’ at Pianos in NYC’s Lower Eastside.
