UkePop is the first ever ukulele-centric festival combining the forces of local composer/performer Krista Muir and PopMontreal. "UkePop" will appeal to uke novices, seasoned veterans and everyone in between. "Uke Hero" (16h) is a ukulele strum and sing-a-long hosted by Muir so bring your uke along and learn a tune or two! The "Mighty Uke" (19h) documentary by Tony Coleman and Margaret Meagher, pays tribute to the powerful and inspirational global uke movement. The Ukulele Bizarro Cabaret (21h) reveals just how versatile the tiny axe is with performances by six local uke acts including MEB, Erin Lang, Miss Dynamite, Ukulele Club de Montreal, Krista Muir, Beaver Sheppard and our international guest from Greenland NIVE.
There will also be a Uke Booth at Puces pop where you can browse through a selection of gorgeous ukes or sign up for beginner uke classes. We will also be raffling off a ukulele courtesy of local acoustic instrument distibutor Ukejunky.
Tickets $8/10 (Phonopolis, Atom Heart, Cheap Thrills & l'Oblique)
