Ralph, our founder.
We are people of all ages who enjoy playing the ukulele. We welcome every level of player from beginner to professional. We play a wide variety of music, as diverse as our membership. Old time standards, country, folk, Hawaiian and blues but we are welcome to new influences.

We are also always interested in putting together non-profit performance groups as we did for the Christmas season of 2012. See our YouTube channel for these performances.
While our emphasis is on ukuleles, we welcome other instruments too.
We are a family oriented organization and encourage the entire family to attend.
