Sam and Fred Kamaka have received Congressional gold medals. (Via Ukulelia.)
James Hill has launched a ukulele clothing brand. So far, no oversized Hawaiian shirts or Formby false teeth.
The fantastic Paula Fuga has a new album out including features from Jack Johnson and Ben Harper: Rain on Sunday. I backed this on Kickstarter way back in 2014 and it’s been well worth the wait.
You can hear Paula along with Willie Nelson, The Staves and many more ukulele music released this year on the Ukulele Hunt 2021 Spotify Playlist.
