Paula Armijo, production manager of Tricky Chord Productions, tells us, “If you have ever wanted to learn ukulele, please check her out. I have learned so much from this lady. I’m one of her patrons on youtube and I can tell you she is very generous with what she shares. There are free songs on there, as well. People have been seeking her out when they want to learn and she is very community centered. That’s what will be so fun about this event. Ukulele is an instrument that is almost always played in a group setting. ”
So bring your ukulele, North Metro! For Saturdays event, the concert will be followed by a group jam session where everyone is invited to learn and play Van Morrison’s “Brown Eyed Girl”.
If you want to continue the ukukele fun after this weekend, High Plains Ukes Squad is forming for those that are”Uke Curious”. They hope to meet at Anythink Library in Brighton in the near future.
