NY Ukulele Salon: Dec 18 at The Living Room

Back at Googie's Lounge, upstairs from The Living Room: The NY Ukulele Salon has another great lineup next Saturday, December 18: 8:30 to 10:30:

8:30: The Edukated Fleas. Great ukulele swing from Wendy Matthews and Greg Doyle.

9:00: Jon Braman. Singer songwriter, "Father of ukulele hip-hop." Sounds like it would be terrible, but he's awesome!

9:30: T.A.B.U. Stands for something like "The All Boroughs Ukuleles," which is incongruous, because they're best known for Polynesian melodies and hulu dancers.

10:00: The Suaverinos. By now an eight-person ensemble of swing: ukes, piano, flugelhorn, block flute, bass, singers, and then some. The Uke Salon's house band, as it were. Much new material.

Get there early to hear the rocking rhythms of friend of NY Uke Salon Declan Zimmerman.
