Kerrville New Folk winning songwriter Amy Kucharik [/kuh-CHAR-ick/] energizes swing dance, folk festival and listening room audiences alike. Drawing from blues, folk and Vaudeville traditions and with a street-smart stagecraft honed in the subways of Boston, Amy transports her audience to a place both timeless and familiar, but nevertheless innovative. As a one-woman band with ukulele, tenor guitar, foot percussion, mouth trumpet and harmonica, Amy combines poignant, witty lyricism and an infectious, danceable swing. Amy was a Falcon Ridge Folk Festival Emerging Artist for 2018 and Somerville Arts Council's Artist of the Month in December 2018.

The Somerville Ukulele Club (SUC for short) is the winsome threesome of Elizabeth Hoey, Abby Taylor, and Ashley Holtgraver. On concert and tenor ukes, glockenspiel and synthesizer, we play music for the people, by the people. Swoon and shake to our covers of the Smiths, Velvet Underground, R. Kelly, the Las, Carly Rae Jepsen, etc...

You'll also be witness to such original athletic lyricism as:
Hot dogs, hot dogs, hot off the grill in a toasty bun.
Hot dogs, hot dogs, once you see a hot dog you're having fun.

Come one, Come all, Come SUC with us!

We are a sing-along, strum-along group of ukulele players with members from Somerville and all over the Greater Boston Area. We pretty much just like to have fun playing music and don't take ourselves too seriously... after all, we are playing ukuleles! Stop by to listen or have some fun with us by singing along... or if you've got a ukulele, bring it with you and jump right in!
