  • Jake Shimabukuro at City Winery November 13th

    The biggest star in ukulele will be coming back to Atlanta next month. What can you say about Jake? He’s one of the all-time greatest ukulele players, with a distinctive style and unbelievable technique.

    You can get more info or order tickets from the City Winery Atlanta website.

  • We’re back!

    My long-time weblog host, TypePad, shut down at the end of September 2025. This is AtlantaUkes Version 2. The new host should enable a lot of new features going forward, but for now, things may be a mess for a few days.

    If you’re looking for the calendar, it’s here. If you use Google Calendar, you should also be able to subscribe to it directly so events show up alongside your other appointments.
