Atlanta’s groups for ukulele sessions

  • Share some SMUG!

    There are fresh flyers from the Sensational Marietta Ukulele Group, covering sessions through the winter.

    These are great to share on social media, or to print out and post on public bulletin boards in the real world, to find new members who might be interested in joining the group. Give somebody a reason to bring out their new Christmas uke!

    There’s one each for:

    Our main calendar should include all these sessions.

    If you’re on Facebook, you can find the Sensational Marietta Ukulele Group here.

  • Welcome to 2026!

    Feng E is a YouTube superstar, who’s been posting his ukulele videos for around 8 years, and has 760,000 subscribers. He’s coming to Eddie’s Attic in Decatur February 8th at 4 p.m., and tickets are still available.

    The Anarchy in the UK YouTube channel has posted their 2025 awards show, The Ukies, with awards for best new ukuleles of 2025, best ukulele podcast, and more.

    First Waikikie session of the year is this Sunday, January 4th, from 2 p.m.-4 p.m. I hope you’ll join me; I’m putting together a playlist of musicians who died in 2025 (it was quite a list, including Brian Wilson, Sly Stone, Roberta Flack, and Steve Cropper). Depending on who shows and what they feel like, we can also play from ozbcoz.com or one of the Beloff books if you’ve got them.

  • Quiet holiday week

    The week between Christmas and New Year’s is very quiet for local ukulele groups. We’ll be playing at Waikikie Hawaiian Barbecue on Saturday the 27th from 2 to 4 p.m., and I believe UUkers will meet on Tuesday as usual.

    If you’ve got a new uke or accessory, bring it out! I’ll be bringing a new Kala Light Tone soprano and a tabletop music stand I got for Christmas. Hope to see you there!

    Update: John Thomas at SMUG emailed that they’ll be doing a “Final Sunday of the Year Jam” at Schoolhouse Brewing in Marietta December 28th. It will start between 1:30 and 2 and last until the place closes down (6:30ish).
