Ukefest,5th Annual,Ukelele July 1, 2006
Seattle, Washington 98103
Come celebrate the music, history and lore of the ukulele at UkeFest—a full day of dazzling workshops followed by an evening of impressive performances from some very dedicated and rather obsessed ukulele players. Uke stars Joel Eckhaus, and the Boulder Acoustic Society, will share hard-won tips and tear-it-up techniques to help you expand your playing.
The evening's climactic concert, hosted by Greg and Jere Canote, features music from the 20's and 30's—a time when witty, silly, love-gone-wrong-songs were married to the swinging, ragtime jazz chords of the ukulele.
Joel Eckhaus and the members for the Boulder Acoustic Society will be teaching ukulele classes all day Saturday, July 1st.
