Uke It Out Returns!

You’ll hear everything on the ukulele from Reggae and Bluegrass sounds to Americana and Rock—the little ukulele knows no limits.  There will be all kinds of ukuleles in action—bass ukes, electric ukes, banjo ukes and acoustic ukes. Over a dozen performers you won’t want to miss over two nights.

There will be food trucks at Cage Brewing and a full menu at New World Brewery, a vintage Hawaiian shirt booth and there will be a special ukulele art display by Carolyn Bruszer.

12+ Artists and Plenty of Chances for You to Join In

Don’t Forget Your Uke!

There will be plenty of ways to learn and showcase your talent. Sign up for all of these uked-out jams, lessons, and contests at the WMNF table when you arrive.

We will have Ukulele Lessons for anyone that shows up with a ukulele and wants to learn how to start playing on the ukulele.  3:30PM at Cage Brewing in St Pete and 6:30PM at New World Brewery in Tampa

Plus there will be a Muddy Waters of the Ukulele Contest—with a prize package and trophy for the best 2-minute ukulele interpretation of a Muddy Waters song on the ukulele–sign up when you arrive.

Everyone loves The Beatles and Tom Petty and there will be a Ukulele Jam to both. Attendees are encouraged to bring their ukuleles to join in. Professionals, amateurs and audience members alike are invited to participate.

To round out the evening, there will be a chance for up and coming ukulele players to showcase their chops.  Participants can sign up for the Show Us Your UKE Open Mic that will be the final event to close both shows.  Just sign up when you get to the show—first come first served.
