100 Ukuleles for 100 Kids - Houston

Please join us Saturday, September 28th, from 1:30 to 3:30 PM, to raise money sponsoring the donation of a ukulele to hospitalized children across the nation and right here in Houston at Anderson Fair Listening Room! All proceeds from this event will go toward funding an ukulele, instruction book, and access to the Ukulele Kids' Club learner's app for each child.

In addition to good karma, you will get to experience the musical stylings of Houston's own Rom Ryan (www.moodafaruka.com), The Houkulele Strummers, snack, drink, and potentially win a hand-painted one-of-a-kind ukulele for your own family to enjoy!

The Ukulele Kids' Club (UKC) is a nonprofit organization that provides free instruments and supports music therapy for hospitalized children. The group partners with more than 200 hospitals in the U.S. and worldwide. Enjoy a fun and musical event for the whole family, with proceeds supporting the UKC to give hospitalized kids the gift of music for life.

• $50 sponsors the cost of 1 ukulele for a hospitalized child
• $30 sponsors 1/2 the cost of 1 ukulele for a hospitalized child

Galveston Mardi Gras 2019 - Saturday, February 23rd

Mark your calendars!

Krewe of Gambrinus Parade
Saturday, February 23, 2019
Seawall Blvd, Galveston
6:00 PM Parade Start

Houkulele has been asked once again to participate in the Krewe of Gambrinus Mardi Gras Parade. The event is really fun and a rare chance to play for 250,000 people!

The Krewe of Gambrinus is one of the kickoff parades for Galveston Island’s two-week Mardi Gras celebration. The parade starts at the Galveston Seawall at 6 PM and ends about 2-3 hours later at the far west end of ‘The Strand” near the Train Museum. The parade route is a little over 4 miles. This year’s theme is “Let the Good Times Roar,” so we’ll be playing easy, animal-related songs. We'll need lots of riders and walkers to pull off a good show!
