Del Rey at Freddy's

Brooklyn Ukes and Freddy's Bar and Backroom present an evening with Del Rey! A ukulele workshop will be followed by a performance on ukulele and guitar.

Del Rey is virtuosic on both ukulele and guitar in just the right way-in order to realize her musical ideas. From her first gig at the San Diego Folk festival in 1974, to her world travels today, she has played music that is slightly nostalgic, but fresh and thoughtful. Her distinctive arrangements of songs like "Creole Belles" (a 1904 ragtime piece performed on the ukulele) or a tribute to guitarist Memphis Minnie, bring vintage sounds to contemporary ears in an engaging manner.
