Charm City celebrates that most charming of instruments – the mighty uke! Born in Hawaii in the 1880s, but with roots from Portugal, this jewel of the Jazz Age, and a staple of Canadian’s musical education in British Columbia, the uke temporarily lost steam post Tiny Tim only to rise again in the early '90s. Today we gather a cast of celebrated uke players who have dedicated themselves to exploring the unpretentious little instrument’s full range for an afternoon of hands on workshops and an evening of wondrous performances.

With Victoria Vox, Skye Zentz, Don Kim, Don Peyton, Jared Denhard, Moe Nelson, Glen Hirabayashi of The Aloha Boys, Bob Friedman of Mambo Combo.
