Ukulele Underground – Growing the Next Generation of Ukulele Players

An article by Ryan    1 Comment

When my partners and I set out 2 years ago to create Ukulele Underground. Our mission statement was simple. We wanted to create the next generation of ukulele players. To me it’s exciting to see this very mission coming into fruition. In October, we received an email from Noah Cronin a long time member of our website and the ukulele player of the band Kolohe Kai telling us about the release of their album, ‘This is the Life’. Their song ‘Ehu Girl’ off that album is #1 on local radio all across the state.  We recently featured him and a few of his band mates in our monthly lesson.

We also have another member, Denny Kremblas who is a sponsored skateboarder who because of his love for the ukulele has artwork featuring the instrument on his signature board.

We are receiving more and more stories like this and it’s one of the most exciting aspects of starting a business that is fueled by a clear mission statement and driven by passion. The next generation of ukulele players are all going to be from Ukulele Underground and I’m glad we got to be just a little part of their lives.
