40 West Market Street
Red Hook, NY   See Map
Ukuleles are small. Yet, ukulele duet Greg Doyle and Wendy Matthews play the big hits, favoring swing and vintage tunes – as well as a few things you might not expect to hear on uke. The Fleas have been playing together as a ukulele duo since late 2006, united by a common love of the music from the 20s through 50s. 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.

Since moving to Nashville, Etheridge and CherryCase have only grown to perfect their polished acoustic pop sound. Drawing from influences like Dashboard Confessional, Coldplay and Ryan Adams, CherryCase continues to produce solid songs about the one thing most troubling to every guy in the world…girls. CherryCase is highly anticipating the release of their music video for “War Song”, their new album, and their summer tour all of which come early July.
