What we’re about
Welcome! Welcome to the Hau`oli Strummers Ukulele Club of San Diego. Hau’oli is Hawaiian for happy and that’s what we are. We are a great community of uke players who get together to strum, sing, learn, teach, share, and most of all, have fun. We welcome anyone and everyone to join us.
Skill Level We welcome all skill levels from the newest uke noobs to total uke stars. If you’ve never strummed or sung a note in your life, our club is a great place to be. The strum-along format makes it easy to join in while you’re learning. If leading a song is your jam, there are plenty of opportunities to do just that.
Music We play a wide variety of music including Rock, Pop, Country, Standards, Hawaiian and more. Over the years we have compiled a great Hau'oli Strummers Songbook and a Google Songbank containing the songs we play at our music jams. Songbooks are available as a free PDF. A link to the Songbank is included on the Meetup event descriptions.
When Our weekly meetups are on Tuesday nights starting at 6:00 or 6:30 (6pm Downtown Cafe, 6:30 at the other locations) and ending between 8 - 9 pm. We participate in other events too. Click the 'Events' tab above for more information. Join us at a Tuesday Night Meetup jam; it's super fun.
