The Corktown Ukulele Jam is the place you are going to want to be this Wednesday for Simon & Garfunkel nite!
17 open-mic performance positions up for grabs.
To qualify, your song must be written or performed by Paul Simon, Art Garfunkel or both.
Yes, songs from their respective solo careers definitely make the list - as do songs written by either that were ultimately performed by other people.
Open-mic sign-up is online and in advance.
THIS IS YOUR OFFICIAL SIGN-UP eMAIL

We expect a huge turn-out and very busy night – so come as early as you can, claim your seat and enjoy the company.

Hosted by Brent Bambury (host of "GO!" Saturday mornings on CBC Radio One), this 2 part evening begins with a Brazilian samba workshop for uke players, followed by a fabulous concert for the general public featuring 10 culturally diversified, performers who will demonstrate how amazingly versatile the uke can be in supporting music of any style from every corner of our planet.

OUR MOST RECENT UKE NiTE WORKSHOP DECK
Is now posted from a link on the top-left of the UKE NiTE! home page.
Special thanks to Dan Misener for introducing us to that awesome Ben Lee call-response tune, Surrender.
If you are excited about playing along with Buena Vista Social Club’s Chan Chan via YouTube, be sure to pick one of the non-live versions: the studio version is in our key (Dm), but they cranked it up a tone to Em when they landed it live in Amsterdam and at Carnegie Hall. The recorded track will be streamed on our torontoUKES audio player shortly: hit LISTEN on the main menu. You’ll find it in the player under the JAMBOOK channel.
There’s a unique treat in store next UKE NiTE for the occassion of adding lyrics to Moondance.
Keep working that Am-Bm7-Am-Bm7 progression.
In the meanwhile, see you Wednesday for lotsa ukulele love and our best Simon & Garfunkel Nite *EVER*!
