New England Ukulele Festival

On May 4, 12-5, at the Sons of the American Legion in Needham, we’ll be hosting the first EVER New England Ukulele Festival!  The event is a fundraiser for the Ukulele Kids Club – a fabulous MA-based nonprofit that provides ukulele-based music therapy to kids in children’s hospitals here in MA and across the country.

We’ll have 8 bands, a workshop, vendors, a caricature artist, an ask-a-luthier booth, food, raffles, and an appearance by a UKC patient and music therapist.  We’ll also have an online auction featuring celebrity autographed ukuleles and “Ask Me Anything” zooms with bassist Leland Sklar, bluegrass legend Tony Trischka, ukulele great James Hill, and Diary of a Wimpy Kid author Jeff Kinney, and more!!

Event hosts are the Unlikely Strummers, the A&W Ukulele Players, and the Southern New Hampshire Ukulele Group.
