Ukefest Playalong

 

🎶 Sing & Strum with us at Ukefest! 🎶

If you’re planning to go to the Ukuleles of Utah Summer Ukefest (and really, why wouldn’t you be?), after the workshops and the Open Mics, you won’t want to miss the Sing & Strum-Along led by yours truly — the Salt Lake Strummers!

This is your chance to join a jam session that feels just like one of our regular monthly gatherings — only with more ukulele friends, more energy, all in a comfortable, air-conditioned space. ❄️

Want to get a head start on the fun? We’ve put together a tentative setlist (with charts!) so you can strum along with confidence. Scroll down for the full list!
