Beginner's Ukulele Class

Hey everybody! Do you have a ukulele that needs some attention? Are you interested in learning how to play it? We will be covering the basics in this 4 week Beginner's Ukulele Class. Tune, strum, pick and play your ukulele and learn how to make music with others. Noodle will have time to teach the class as a whole as well as provide individual attention. Learn songs that are fun to play on the ukulele each Saturday in February. The Kids' Class is from 10am -11am, followed by Adult Beginner's from 11am-noon. For the complete series it is $80, or $25 for drop-ins. We'll have you dreaming on Hawaii in no time!

Good Mornin' Noodle!

Ah...the wake up call! Time to stretch, grab my ol' uke and head to the coffeeshop. On Friday, January 24th I'll be doing just that at the Elliotborough Minibar, starting up around 9am. The EBMB is on Bogard street, just up a few blocks from D'Allesandro's Pizza. It's cozy and a great place for acoustic music.We'll get through this together. Drop on in!

V-tones with the Bumper Jacksons!

Check out the travelling band, the Bumper Jacksons at the Sparrow (North Charleston) on Tuesday night, January 7th. The V-Tones will open for them, probably going on around 9pm. We all play fun Jazz, Swing, Jugband and party music. Come on out! If there is a cover it's pretty small. Support live music! Support travelling musicians! Wahoo!

Happy Noodle Year
