Hot Fun in the Summertime!
Ukester Brad decided what better way to enjoy ukuleles and the summer at the same time then to organize the first annual Kansas City Ukester's Summer Jam.
About 20 enthusiasts met out at Shawnee Park and by the lovely lake, we enjoyed good music, good friends and a beautiful day albeit a bit on the windy side. Didn't stop us though!
Kati Bradley photo-documented the entire event and we are very grateful. She is a wonderful photographer. To see Kati's photos of Summer Jam 09, Click Here. |

Guerilla Ukeing? You heard right.
The Ukesters went from park to cafe to bistro on Memorial Day, leaping (or creaking) from our cars and playing for unsuspecting patrons—"Five Foot Two" and then rushed away leaving our prey bewitched, bewildered, and confused. Great fun.
Check it out here. |

The Ukester's celebrated
their 2nd year anniversary with a Gala event held at St. Pius
Church. The evening included a catered BBQ, a "swap and shop"
table, an open mic, a jam and wonderful social conversation.
For several Ukesters, this was their first chance to perform
solo and everyone without exception did a stellar job. Kudos
to all who performed and kudos to everyone who attended.
