🌺🎶 THE LA UKULELE FESTIVAL IS THIS WEEKEND!! 🎶🌺

And if you’ve been thinking about coming, I hope you’ll take this as your invitation. 🥰

This year is extra special because we’re celebrating the 10th Annual Los Angeles International Ukulele Festival! 🎉 Ten years of music, friendship, learning, laughing, playing together…and apparently taking LOTS of selfies. 😂💕

Some truly incredible artists are traveling from all over the world to be here this weekend, and I’m so excited to be part of it again! I’ll be leading some play-alongs, wandering around the festival, listening to performances, visiting vendors, catching up with friends and hopefully meeting YOU. 🥹❤️

And please don’t feel like you need to be an experienced ukulele player to come.

You can have been playing for zero days, one day, one year, five years or ten years. It genuinely doesn’t matter. You don’t have to know all the chords. You don’t have to be able to play every song. You don’t even have to own a ukulele yet. 😂

What brings everyone together at festivals like this is simply a love of music. 🎶

That’s one of my favorite things about ukulele festivals. You walk in surrounded by people you may have never met before, and somehow by the end of the weekend you’ve played music together, laughed together, learned something new and made new friends. 💕

Also PLEASE COME SAY HI TO ME! 🥹 If you see me walking around, don’t be shy about approaching me. I would absolutely LOVE to meet you. And please ask me for a photo so we can add another one to a collection like this. 📸🥰

🌺 10th Annual Los Angeles International Ukulele Festival
🎶 THIS WEEKEND!
🪕 All experience levels welcome

Come make some music with me. 💕🎶🌺
