Western New York Friends, I hope that you'll be able to come out to this special ukulele workshop and "mini concert" with me. I am thrilled to be returning to the Buffalo area where I lived for twenty years - working in the local music scene with my Gypsy Jazz Band "Babik" and as an Artist-in-Residence at Roswell Park Cancer Institute. It will be a sweet homecoming!
In this workshop we'll learn Rockabilly & Rock n Roll guitar styles adapted for Ukulele. You'll play classic songs and learn the tricks of Rockabilly rhythm & lead playing in the styles of Carl Perkins, Brian Setzer, Chuck Berry, Scotty Moore, and many more.
This workshop will teach you some killer rock n roll tricks including:
-songs by Chuck Berry, Carl Perkins, Eddie Cochrane, Little Richard, The Beatles
-rock n rolls strums & different feels
-12 bar blues form
-boogie woogie bass lines
-single note & double stop soloing (ala Chuck Berry)
-finger picking backup (ala Travis Picking)
-stage presence and showmanship tricks
After the workshop I'll play a short set of my solo ukulele music and then hanging out for an informal meet and greet. THE CONCERT PORTION WILL BEGIN AT 3:30pm following the workshop. Looking forward to seeing you there!
This workshop is open to those with basic ukulele skills & up.
