This Sunday May 26th
Abbey Road on Ukulele at Tsunami Books
Willie McEachern hosts a songwriter's night at the s'Wine Bistro in Pleasant Hill. I'll be out there as one of his guests on June 21... Come and hear some OH-Rig'nal music
A weekend dedicated to promoting the Aloha Spirit through friendship and ukulele music. Planned activities include workshops, jams, open mic, live performances, and the opportunity to spend time with good people from throughout the ukulele community.
Explore the possibilities of group performance using the humble ukulele as well as other instruments that play nice with ukulele. Using a combination of individual instruction and group practice, we'll develop a small repertoire of songs, and work out harmonies and instrumental parts: simple for the beginners, more challenging for the advanced. We will add and rearrange until each song is cool, funny or beautiful. All you need is a ukulele or something that sounds good with ukulele.

This is the week of the Eugene Celebration, a lotta people will be downtown... But we'll be playing what we like and that would be soul and pop and songs from my new album.
Two ukulele workshops and a couple of performances...
Gonna be fun!
So far in the future I can't imagine what we'll be doing, but I know we will be having a good time.
I'll add more detail later but basically this is a sing along on an old train up in the Sierra Nevada Mountains near Reno.
We will then rock Virginia City with our ukes for a day. Fun Fun...
