East side, we heading your way!
Sip and Strum 4 will be an amazing time. Huge shoutout to the Ka’ahanui Ohana and OG Motorwerks for hosting us!

Come and learn from two island braddahs as we make it to the east side. Wes Ganeko and I will be bringing our Aloha for the ukulele for an hour long lesson covering all the basics from history, strumming and picking techniques, theory, and some basic play and sing along favorites from the islands! All skill levels are welcome as all will be challenged, accordingly. No more ukulele? No worries! We always get extra fo’ borrow/purchase. We’ll also have a commemorative Sip and Strum t-shirt available for sale.

Sip and Strum will be accompanied by Ohana BBQ whipping up some onoliscious local style pupu as is included in your fees! BYOB, too! The more we eat and drink, the more fun we’ll have!

Please contact Lisa Ka'ahanui at [email protected] to register. $15 includes onoliscious pupu (appetizers), Sip and Strum packet, and an hour packed with Aloha! If not for the lesson, just come and grind and connect with people all with the same interest of the ukulele while listening to the beloved instrument of our homeland!

Aloha and mahalo and hope to see you all there! Proceeds to benefit Breakthrough T1D Desert West Chapter - Arizona!

Jon and Wes 🤙🏻
