Special Events for ukulele artists

Check out this great video. Gaithersburg UkeFest designed an event just for ukulele artists. These performing artists and workshop instructors enjoyed a comedian (Tyler Fowler), and motivational speaker (Carrie Grace), and Christmas/Holiday musical selections from artists Zooming in from around the world. Enjoy!

Another time for ukulele leaders in the uke community to learn, laugh and share together topics that impact and interest us.
