Prohibition Halloween warm up dance

It's Spooookulele time! Join the V-Tones of Charleston this Wednesday, October 28th at Prohibition for a free Swing Dance! We'll be playing the music you can jump too with a great band. We've got Bill McSweeney on Trombone this time around and Brad Bolchoz joining us on drums, and then the usual gang of nuts! We always like to dress up, so we invite you to as well. It's a free dance, with a free lesson from Stephen Duane at 7pm, then our live music from 8-11pm. You don't have to dance if you don't want to---but you'll be glad you did! And we'll be glad to see you all there!

Georgetown Wooden Boats Festival

Ahoy there! The V-Tones will be back at the Georgetown Wooden Boats Festival again this year. We'll be playing from noon-4pm on Sunday, Oct. 18th. We'll be at 729 Front Street, so drop on by and say hello! Naughty and Nautical songs on the horizon!

L'Chaim, Y'all!

Hey friends!
  I've been asked to congregate an Ukulele parade on this Sunday (Oct.11) for the Lowcountry Nosh. Hassell street will be closed down (King street, too) and we'll parade around playing 'Hava Nagila' from 3pm to 3:15 pm, yes, that's right, one song!!!!!  Meet up at the historic KKBE synagogue about 2:30 and I'll teach you the song (3 chords, A7, Dm, Gm)--it's free and part of the Jewish Heritage Festival. Dress code is comfortable!!!

I'd love to have some strummers on board for this!
Mahalo!

Beneficial V-Tones

The V-Tones have always been happy to play for a wide variety of beneficial organizations. Thursday, Oct, 1st we'll be at the Founders' Hall at Charlestowne Landing for the Respite Care Benefit. It's called 'Moments on Canvas' and the people with Alzheimer's and their care-takers will exhibit their artwork. And the V-Tones will provide some music! 6-9pm

Then on Saturday, October 3rd we'll be at the Palmetto Brewery on Huger street to play for the Jerry Zucker Benefit.  That's 4-7pm, and the Jerry Zucker ride raises money for cancer patients, I believe.

On Sunday, we'll be back at Prohibition for the Swing Dance. There's a free lesson at 6pm, and the music runs from 7-10pm. We'll have Melissa Koci (soon to be Dr. Koci) with us on the bandstand for the first set. This is a free show! Come on out a benefit you r local Swing Dance scene.

THANK YOU ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!
