If you like to sing and make music, please consider spending a Thursday evening with the DAM Ukulele Band. (DAM is the acronym for “Duey Auringer Memorial” – we named our Ukulele Band after an affable and much-loved church member, Duey, who learned a few chords before he joined the heavenly ukulele band.)
This group of musicians has expanded over the past year or two into a dedicated band of friends, singing and playing our way through an hour of music from 6:15 pm to 7:15 pm every Thursday evening before our choir rehearsal begins at 7:30.
You don’t have to know HOW to play the ukulele, but you will need a ukulele to play. We provide music – we have assembled three volumes of our favorite songs – and you can follow along, playing the chords you know, and adding new ones as you continue to practice. If you don’t know any chords, we will teach you the C chord to start, and you can follow along on the song charts and play the C chord every time it comes around.
It's that easy. Before you know it, with regular attendance, you will have learned dozens of chords!
This group is SO incredibly enthusiastic, that for the first time this summer, they didn’t miss a single Thursday. During the summer break, we played in one another’s back yards and enjoyed the songs of summer, and every week was fabulous.
If you’re not sure that you want to join us, but you’d like to come and listen and experience the DAM Ukulele Band for yourself, you are most WELCOME to drop by and listen. We will return to the Sanctuary this coming Thursday, August 31, at 6:15 pm.
And a final note, the DAM Ukulele Band is comprised not only of ukulele players, but people bring their banjos, guitars and banjoleles too. Interested? Please come and check us out. Bring a friend!
