As the Fleas soon discovered, ukes are perfect for these cheerful, melodic tunes. The Fleas have delighted audiences in venues as varied as the Clearwater Festival, Hoot on the Hudson, Ukulele Cabaret and New York Ukulele Festival, as well as street fairs, restaurants, libraries, art openings and private parties across New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts and Maine. | ||

Led by one of the area's top slide guitarists, The Geoff Hartwell Band opened for Gregg Allman at the Paramount last summer. Geoff often performs with rock icons such as Sonny Landreth, Tab Benoit and John Hammond and does frequent tours with guitarist Andy Aledort and Grammy winner and drummer Yonrico Scott. Slide guitar legend Sonny Landreth also performed on Geoff's recently released CD, "Hate to See You Go". Tonight, Geoff is joined by Rich Kelly on bass, Cary Brown on keys and Joe Piteo on drums.
