About us
The Philadelphia Main Line Ukulele Group is one of the largest and most active ukulele groups in the country. Established in 2011 we have grown to over 800 members strong and have provided our members with, on average 20 opportunities per month to play ukulele in a group setting.
We have weekly jam sessions at multiple locations in the tri-state area and monthly jam sessions at our flagship locations, Steel City Coffee House, Green Fork Restaurant and Main Stage Center for the Arts. We also offer other opportunities each and every week to get together and jam with fellow ukulele players. The Philadelphia Main Line Ukulele Group also holds four "Premier Events" each year. Our Premier Events give members the opportunity to play in a festival like setting with, on average over 50 players all sharing the love that only the ukulele can bring!
Our group caters to beginners so if you're new to the uke please come to one of our events and let us help you start your journey. We play a wide variety of music from old standards from the 20's and 30's, Hawaiian Music, Classic Rock, Folk, Modern Pop, Country, Punk, Reggae and anything and everything else!
Hope to see you soon!

Ukulele Tips 5:00-5:20. Sit, tune up and for those interested, one of us volunteers for the week to lead a short, maximum 15 minute session sharing a ukulele tip. This isn't a full lesson, but short tip that we'll learn and try. It may be a riff you've learned or a new strum. Or if you know a song to share that others don't know, here's a chance to play the recording and we can practice it a few times! If nobody had volunteered Ukulele Tips, we'll just chat and catch up!
