Ukulele festivals are more than just workshops and performances. They bring together people who are willing to invest their time, energy, and travel dollars to learn, play, and connect with fellow ukulele enthusiasts. As a small way of saying thank you, I’m offering special festival prices on my books and a raffle for a spiral-bound copy of a Pick Pluck Play! book.
