We are a community of ukulele enthusiasts who have been meeting since March 2015! We have three kinds of jam sessions: Final Friday Jams, Second Saturday Uke Jams, and Sip 'n' Strums. Periodically, we run an introductory class (Uke-newbie Jam) at the Barker library (because they have a ukulele borrowing program)!
Final Friday Jam Sessions are community jam sessions on the last Friday of each month at 6pm. No matter your skill level, you are welcome in this group. If you've never played ukulele, but are interested...don't worry! We'll have a couple extra ukuleles for you to try and we have a "beginners and brush-up" session at the beginning of each Last Friday Jam Session.
Second Saturday Uke Jam Sessions are new additions (since summer 2016) to our Community Jam Sessions. Second Saturday Jams pop up the second Saturday of the month. It is intended for ukulele enthusiasts who are a step beyond beginners. Participants should be familiar with basic chords (C, F, Am, G, Em, D, Dm) and strumming. We welcome everyone, but this session moves at a quicker pace than our usual jam sessions.
Sip 'n' Strum Sessions are uke jams we run in the summer at Liberty Vineyards and Winery. The winery charges a $5 registration fee, but you get a drink (wine or non-alcoholic choices) and a TON of FUN!!! No matter your skill level, you are welcome at these events. If you've never played ukulele, but are interested...don't worry! We'll have a couple extra ukuleles for you to use and we have a "beginners and brush-up" session at the beginning of each Sip 'n' Strum Session.
Uke-newbie Jam (pronounced "oo-ka-noo-bee") is intended for beginners and those who would like to work on the basics. Participants will focus on some basic chords (C7, F, C, G7, G, Am) and strumming. We welcome everyone, but this session moves a bit slower than our usual jam sessions. If you don’t have a uke, don’t worry…we’ve got extras!!!
