This amazing YouTube performance is an excellent example of James’technical and creative virtuosity. This is a great version of 12th Street Rag. A knock-out performance of this classic by Andy Eastwood on the banjolele!
Brian adds the Bluegrass touch to the ukulele.  Nice arrangement. Joel is a successful luthier (Earnest Instruments) and shows up regularly to ukulele festivals with his great comedy routines. Lil Rev is an award-winning multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and music-historian who teaches and tours nationally, around the  continental U.S.  He’s known at ukulele workshops for clever comedy routines.
Ralph “brought the place down” at the 2007 Portland Uke Fest with this rendition of Viva Las Vegas!  His ukulele stage comedy is brilliant, generally leaving the audiences in awe.  You have to definitely check this one out! Also visit his website as well. Awesome performance!  12 year old Ryan Imamura is a child prodigy on the ukulele.  Kinda makes you want to pick up your uke and practice a bit more! Mr. John King was most eminent in the classical music genre.  The ukulele world is deeply saddened by his untimely death at age 55 on April 3, 2009  He was a very talented, but gentle and humble man.  His performance here demonstrates how great a tiny sopranino ukulele can sound in the hands of a master.  He was also on the Board of Directors of the Ukulele Hall of Fame Museum (American).  We’ll certainly miss John’s beautiful classical music that he played on the sopranino.
This ukulele orchestra is world famous.  Here’s their version of The Orange Blossom Special which was written in 1939.  The train was real.  It was the first streamline train to be seen in Florida. Jake Shimabukuro is one of the very top ukulele virtuosos in the world.  This ukulele version of George Harrison’s “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” is unforgettable!  Jake actually calls it by the original name on his album.  Pass this one along!
