UKEtoberFest Performers

Victoria Vox
Victoria Vox
Victoria got the music bug early on, began writing songs when she was 10 and was performing by the time she was 17. She’s ever since been dedicated to honing her craft and has grown incredibly over the years as a writer and performer, tackling the violin, oboe, trumpet, guitar, bass, ukulele, and squeezebox.
Canote Brothers
Canotes
Double up with laughter when these identical twin musicians take the stage. With fiddle, banjo, ukuleles and genetically matched voices, Greg and Jere Canote bring back fun, vintage American music – including forgotten fiddle tunes, swing classics and quirky novelty songs.
Ralph Shaw
Ralph Shaw
Sparkling with wit, charm and an infectious comic energy, Ralph Shaw is the epitome of the very best that the golden age of British Music Hall and Vaudeville can offer. Whether crooning a 1940s Inkspots classic, belting out a George Formby favourite, singing a hilarious original song or channeling Elvis and Tom Jones, Ralph's performances are electrifying, a truly world class act.
Kate Powers and Steve Einhorn

The Refreshments
Refreshments
The Refreshments are the cutest band in the world. They play doo-wop on ukulele and they wear hats! Just when you least expect it, these gals will come out from nowhere and have everyone ukein' in up for a quick round of jolly good fun! We can't tell you where or when...you'll just have to show up to find out.
The Hapa Hillbillies
Hapa Hillbillies
Hot and Sweet! The Hapa Hillbillies take the "hapa haole" sound further by spicing it up with a little country and add a old time hillbilly flourish. The band features Ben Bonham, Dennis Williams, Rick Hulett, Ronnie Ontiveros & Larry Wyatt and if it looks like they are having fun, that's because they are.
Craig Chee
Craig Chee
Craig Chee was born and raised on Oahu, Hawaii. With a background of a variety of musical influences (Jake Shimabukuro being both a big influence and a former teacher) Craig is currently adding his style to classic traditional and contemporary Hawaiian songs as well as focusing on composing original songs.
Brook Adams
Brook Adams
Guitar ain't nuthin' but a Big Ukulele and Brook Adams rocks the house on both instruments. He plays a cartoon mix of 20th century music with funky soul rhythms and a smoky tenor voice. His own songs are influenced by the Beatles, Dr. John, Louis Jordan, Django Reinhardt, and the Three Stooges.
