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.
