We worked up a classic Hawaiian cowboy tune – Ulapalakua – and performed it at the Austin Ukulele Society. Rich does the Hula.
Here’s (sort of) our schedule for the next few Tuesday nights
Because we’re at a “pause” kind of state right now, the pandemic is causing most people–especially our members–to be careful about getting together in groups.
So we will be meeting indefinitely on Tuesday evenings 7:00–9:00 on Zoom.

We used to email people invitations to our Zoom meetings, but since they don’t change, the instructions are below. We also capture the meetings on video – OnLine Open Mic Videos.
We also have play along videos – check out the Member Videos and the Spring 2020 Songbook videos. And since we’re all pretty much sitting at home most of the time – this is a good chance to work on some new strums with our TUG Strum Class videos. We’re adding videos (and other stuff) almost every day – so check back.
We’ll be updating our calendar with local online events – and check out Ukulele Magazine’s Live Stream Events Calendar – lots of great stuff going on in the ukulele world.
Take care — and keep playing.
We’re a group of uke players who wish we could meet each Tuesday at 7:00pm at The Hancock Recreation Center – 811 E. 41st Street, Austin, TX. (Hancock Rec Center Web). It’ll happen again, we hope, and we’ll let you know when.
We open our meetings by playing a couple of songs that we haven’t played for a while. Then we play a few songs from our current, and ever-changing quarterly songbook. Folks bring in songs they like and we try new songs – we’re open to anything! We project the song sheets on the wall – and we have loaner ukes at every meeting – so you don’t need anything! At the end of each quarter we pull a dozen or so songs from our current songbook, print song sheets, and have an open uke jam at a local watering hole – we call it a UkeAlong. We take our loaner ukes and usually get some bystanders involved – it’s a lot of fun.
From 6:30pm to 7:00pm each Tuesday we have a gentle warm up where we play one and two-chord songs.
If you have any questions drop us an email – [email protected]. We’re very informal, and this is a friendly group – so come out and play ukes with us.
