Videos this week include Zee Avi’s new one, a song from Boulder Acoustic Society’s session for 11 O’Clock Rock (watch the whole thing here, probably my favourite version of probably my favourite Burning Hell song, My Brightest Diamond, some Serbian ukulele and more.

I think I might be breaking the cardinal rule of the internet by featuring an anti-cat song this week. If you’re of a strongly pro-cat bent, skip the Uke’s Not Dead track and watch this instead (or this one which seems to be equally enjoyed by cat lovers and haters). Also this week a non-ukulele […]

Yes, Michael Jackson did a ukulele song. Who knew? Also included in this week’s round-up: Amanda Shires (only her first song is on uke but she plays violin uke-style), Savannah Smith, Sophie Madeleine (to remind you to support your favourite singed record label), Wilfried Welti and plenty more besides.

I’m looking forward to getting my hands on Givers’ new album. Two videos from them including the final song from their NPR Tiny Desk Concert. Also up: Arborea, Paula Fuga, The Gregory Brothers (aka Schmoyoho/Auto-Tune the News/Songify This) at Vidcon and more.

A track this week from Watercolor Paintings’s new album These Arms (which you can buy on Bandcamp) along with a cavalcade of stars including Dave Matthews, Zooey Deschanel, Ben Schwartz, (Carolina Chocolate Drop) Dom Flemons and Robert Crumb.

Sophie Madeleine is spending the month leading up to the full release of her album doing a cover a day. You can watch them all here. Or watch my two favourties so far in this post along with Connie Francis, The Winin’ Boys, Tyrone and plenty more.

I’ve spent the entire course of this week squinting through a haze of tears thanks to the new Bon Iver album. So I was either going to love or hate the first ukulele cover of it I heard. As luck would have it, Kina Grannis was up to the job. Also this week is Lisa […]

Still no decent Internet here, so a rather shortened post this week. So go ahead and leave your favourite of the week in the comments to give people something to listen to.

It’s nearly the half way point of the year. Already. So here’s a quick round-up of my favourite videos so far (in the order they showed up on the blog). One thing I’ve noticed putting this together: the number of pro musicians using the ukulele has crowded out the bedroom players. Whether that’s established musicians […]
