Ukulele Bizarro 2010 - "UkePop" Here We Come!


It looks like the jumping flea has finally started making Montreal residents excited and itchin' for more ukulele action. With groups like Krista's Ukulele Bizarro jam or Ukulele Club de Montreal, you can bring your own ukulele and join in strumming and singing.

If you attended last years 1st Annual Ukulele Bizarro Festival, you got to enjoy a surreal cabaret with local acts Caracole, MEB, Risa Dickens, Miss Dynamite, Lederhosen Lucil, NIVE (from Greenland!) and Krista Muir (me!). We also had a ukulele giveaway courtesy of Italmelodie and Magnum PI Lookalike contest. Many raffle prizes were given away and local baker Cupcake Fairy provided tropical themed treats. The lovely local micro-brasserie St. Ambroise helped sponsor the event as well. What a night!

This years "Ukulele Bizarro" will be a part of the first "UkePop" festival produced with local promoters PopMontreal. :) More exciting details to come as the line-up is just about confirmed and we have some special surprises in store...
