What we’re about
Funky Frets is the `ukulele home of Curt and Bernadette Sheller and their daughter Kelly. A true Mom and Pop or as our grandson TJ might say "Mom Mom and Pop-o" music store specializing in All Things Ukulele.
Curt has written and published over 30 books for `ukulele. Curt also maintains his personal, very popular web site LearningUkulule.com with over 600 `ukulele lessons, 100 songs, links and resources to builders, luthiers, festivals, clubs, manufactures, fellow musicians and a lot more. Curt has performed and presented `ukulele workshops at various `ukulele festivals around the USA.
This meetup group will be for `ukulele get togethers, jams, workshops and concert announcements. As well as any great `ukulele related events we can host at the store.
We're looking forward to building a vibrant `ukulele community in this neck of the woods.

6pm - Ukulele Workshop
Loke Lani
A workshop unlocking a beautiful Ernest Ka’ai tune. We’ll learn three distinct right hand patterns from the first virtuoso ukulele players: Ernest K’ai. Learn to apply new rhythms as well as textures to this tiny instrument and walk away with an entire solo piece under your fingertips. In the process of learning this song by ear as it would have been traditionally passed down we will also build a strategy for easily learning and memorizing songs.
