Ukulele Club Listings for California
The Berkeley Ukulele Club is an active community of ukulele players, musicians and singers from all over the San Francisco Bay area. We have our big meetups on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of each month in Berkeley, California and smaller neighborhood jams throughout the San Francisco Bay Area in between. Whether you are a beginner or seasoned player, please join us twice a month to share songs, techniques and music and uke talk. There are no dues or membership. Just show up and have fun. Everyone is welcome. We love to play!
E Kanikapila KÄkou! means Let’s Play Music! We meet every Sunday from 5pm to 8pm in Dana Point, CA. We are a group of friends from Hawai’i who are committed to sharing our passion for the Hawaiian culture with the community through fellowship and encouragement. Bring your ukulele and strum along with us. No ukulele, no problem, come sing and talk story. All levels welcome.
We play only the best selection of music, from the 1920s to the 2020s. I’m talking GREAT songs. The hallmark of the Jumpin Fleas is that we provide FULLY NOTATED, ORIGINAL ARRANGEMENTS of all the songs we play. No chord boxes and lyric sheets here. You get the full score, plus more! We play at the advanced-beginner level and above, but even if you’re just starting, come see us and watch your playing and personality improve by LEAPS and BOUNDS!!!
