   Al, did you stumble across this or is it your project? Cuz there’s several groups here in Seattle, including the rather largish SUPA (Seattle Ukulele Players Association) which has spun off one in Olympia and one in Tacoma.

   Hobbit: Thanks. It’s my project. I’ll add SUPA and spin-offs to the list.

   Fantastic, simply fantastic!

   Thanks for organizing all of this information into an easy to use post.

   Go to the SUPA site’s Resources page and scroll down to “Song Circles.” Page is:

   All the info you need is there, though I’m not 100% sure the Puget Sound Strummers are still rockin’.

   Aw man, nothin’ in Texas. You’d think there was something happening in here in Austin. I suppose I could start a group, but I’ve no knack for organizing groups…

   I wish there were one around Austin! That’d be wonderful…

   Actually – SUPA has spun off two in the Tacoma Area – one on 6th Avenue which meets once a month (WASSUP)the last Tuesday of the month. Now there is an additional group in Lakewood (30-40 people) that meets every Monday night and is actually called – Monday Ukulele ‘Ohana, facilitated by Ray Alonzo Sr. They meet from 5:30 – 6:30 for beginners (free) and a song circle/ kanikapila from 6:30 p.m. on. He also teaches private and semi-private lessons. They meet at the Queens’ Closet at 9614 40th Ave SW in Lakewood where they carry various brands of ukulele (Kanilea, Nalu and Kamoa at this time) and accessories including Aquila and Worth Strings, etc. Info on http://www.facebook.com/Mondaynightukulele and http://www.facebook.com/hoalohaikaukulele or at 253 475-9576. Also – there is another new group just formed at the Aloha Kitchen in Silverdale led by Roddy Lopez. This group meets on Sunday. Mahalo for organizing this list.

    Hey, in Colorado we’ve got the Denver Uke Community
    http://www.folkjam.org/recurring-jam/us/colorado/denver/denver-ukulele-community

    Thanks

    Thanks for all the info, folks. I’ll make sure all the groups get added.

    Great idea Al – good work to the Uke Hunt team. Could I just point out an error though. The Cleveland Ukulele Fraternity is actually in the UK, in the area formerly known as Cleveland – now North Yorkshire. We meet at Skelton-in-Cleveland, every 2nd Wednesday of the month. If anyone is interested you can contact Eve’s number listed above or me via this or my Youtube link which is my name above.

    Cheers, Mike
