Description
SNHUG is pleased to annouce that supporter, charmer, and ukulele wild man Russ is back on tour! Learn just how “real” things can get with the ukulele player Gene Siskel once described as “that homeless looking guy hanging out in the parking lot by my car.” Ukulele Russ is a wild man—a dude who chooses to drive a Cooper Mini in a Mac Truck world, an hombre who opts for a tacquito over the burrito grande. He is playing it fast and loose in a guitarist’s jungle with his show “The Last Ukulele Frontier,” which contains the secret history of 49th state, and a true account of Russ’s life in the north, all set to piano ukulele music, telling the stories of a musician’s survival in the subarctic.started in New England. Fled the recession to the frontier of Alaska. And now after a year hiatus he is back entertaining crowds on both sides of the North American continent. Currently residing under the midnight sun in the interior of sub-arctic Alaska.Ukulele Russ' tour will bring him to The Strand in Dover, NH on April 6. (http://www.thestrandballroom.com)
There's also a soft side to Ukulele Russ – because at the Dover event, a Ukulele Kids Club (theukc.org) one-of-a-kind hand painted ukulele will be raffled off to benefit this organization. The UKC is a 501c3 organization that provides music therapy to sick children both locally and nationwide - and a ukulele for them to bring home as a “gift for life.” The Southern NH Ukulele Group has raised over $16,000 in support of the UKC and the work this organization does for hospitalized children locally.
Don't miss out on this one of a kind opportunity to find out why Ukulele Russ is known as “Alaska's guitar alternative and ukulele wild man..”
