Monday Exposure: Share

Share – Bluebird (mp3)
Share – Shangri-La (mp3)
Download the whole album free from Forward Music

share ukulele tragicWhen I tell you Share are from Halifax, Nova Scotia, you’d be forgiven for assuming they’re J. Chalmers Doane alumni making virtuoso instrumental uke tracks. You’d be completely wrong.

Share started out as the solo project of Andrew Sisk. After traveling around, he settled in Halifax and hooked up with soundsmith A.A. Wallace and started work on Ukulele Tragic; an album of, mostly uke-led, lo-fi indie-folk. He’s recently made the whole album available for download free of charge on the Forward Music website. If you’re a fan of that sort of thing, it’s definitely worth a download.

Since Ukulele Tragic, Share have moved away from the ukulele/acoustic sound. They added a couple of members and moved in a more electric and electronic album, Can Can Missile. With their latest album Pedestrian they’re attempting to meld the sound of the two previous albums. Still no uke, but some fine songs.

Share have got me thinking. I wonder what Cher would sound like on the ukulele.

    Good suggestion. Now I just need the wig and make-up.

    You know what is crazy.
    I bought a Ukulele years ago after seeing Share play at a cafe. I have all three albums and although it is not obvious there is Ukulele on the other two albums too. You can hear it in the background in subtle parts to their songs.

    Thanks for the info Phillip. I picked up a couple of their later tracks. I shall listen to them closely.

    Are there any tabs for Share songs floating around out on the tubes?

  6. Woodshed March 17th, 2008 9:06 pm

    Not that I know of. I might have a go at one of their songs sometime, though.

    Wow I just came cross this and also Herman Dune’s Post on here (well woodsheds post). Does anyone know (which sorry for being impatient, I am new on Uke Hunt and going through old posts) any similiar uke artists? I am a big indie folk (or anti folk, whatever) fan and love the uke with these two fellows.
