ALOHA!

We’re excited to announce that Music City Uke Fest 2027 will take place May 13–15, 2027 in the open air Barn at UkuMele's Farm! Join us for a springtime hootenanny with workshops, jam sessions, open mic, concerts, a Silent Auction, and vendors. Our featured artists Victoria Vox and Ukulenny are sure to whoop it up and bring the fun as multi-talented, multi-instrumental professional musicians! We are also pleased to add to the MCUF lineup of artists with Oliver Steele, American Idol Finalist; Anson Onishi, singing Hawaiian Falsetto; and Josh Yafuso, bringing a Hawaiian flair to our ukulele gathering. UkuMele will also be dancing hula throughout the shenanigans at MCUF.

We are planning a unique feature this year, our Ukulele Club Spotlight! If you are attending MCUF with a few of your buddies from your uke club, you can sign up for a 20-minute performance slot on stage. Your club can showcase a couple of songs and then lead a few songs, Kanikapila-style, jamming with festival attendees. There will be only 6 slots available, so sign up soon by emailing UkuMelePresents@gmail.com!

There will also be a special opportunity to visit The Hideaway Farm (Johnny Cash's former home and hideout) on Saturday during a long lunch break. This is an optional tour at a discounted rate for our group. (MCUF 2025 was such a blast there---riding and driving the One-Piece-at-a-Time Car; riding in Ben Hur's chariot, and seeing all the Johnny Cash and Elvis memorabillia in the farmhouse & garage---that we asked the Oxleys to offer a tour for MCUF 2027 folks to see the farm.)

Tickets for this intimate festival are limited, so get your tickets now! To borrow Jake's phrase ‘Ichigo Ichie’, it's going to be a ‘once-in-a-lifetime’ awesome experience, you won't want to miss! Can't wait to see all y'all again!

Mahalo, 

Melanie aka ‘UkuMele’
