We are a midwestern Ukulele Band from Milwaukee.
We are life long musicians who have played in various bands. Last summer’s trip to Hawaii inspired the purchase of ukuleles. We have composed our own songs along with learning some standards. Playing string instruments is new for us, but our musical background has made the transition from woodwind & brass to strings much easier.
We are graduates of the University of Wisconsin – Madison, and are urban professionals by day, ukulele FUNatics by night.
Our blog is not limited to just music, and will include a little bit of this and that.
Glad to see you spelled ukulele right on this page. Just to let you know, on your main page you spelled it ukelele. Also, truth be told, the actual spelling is ‘ukulele. I play with the Hawai’i State Society ‘Ukulele Hui here in the Washington, D.C. area. We are holding a Presidential Inaugural Ball, with Eddie Kamae, Riatea Helm, Auntie Genoa’s ensemble, and, possibly, Jake Shimabukuro. See details at http://www.hawaiistatesociety.org.

Yes, we know it’s spelled wrong. But we’ve had difficulty going back in and changing it. It’s a word that has always been tricky to spell….for us anyway.
Sounds like that will be a heck of a pres. inaugural ball!
