With 150 play alongs and tutorials – and more added every month – subscribe to us on YouTube. VIRTUAL JAM WATCH PARTIES - CURRENTLY ON BREAK
We meet online (nearly) every second Monday at 7:30 ET for an hour or so for a mix of play-along charts and “open mic” performances, along with a live text chat window to comment and interact with your uke friends. Learn more about our Virtual Jam Watch Parties. |
Founded in October 2013 and inspired by the world-famous Corktown Ukulele Jam. A fun, low-pressure environment where you can play and sing with a group of like-minded uke enthusiasts. All skill levels welcome! We meet certain Mondays from 7:30 pm to 9:00ish upstairs at The Olde Stone Cottage Pub (3750 Kingston Rd. at the corner of Scarborough Golf Club Rd.). Check the calendar to confirm when we are at the bar. Arrive early to get a good seat and a beverage! Admission is $5. |
Scarborough Uke Jam alternates between two formats:
Workshop: An opportunity to learn new songs. Our fearless leader (music teacher extraordinaire Paul Butters) and The Hardest Working Ukulele Rhythm Section In Southeast Scarborough on a Monday Night™ (featuring Paul Bailie, Matthew Bartram and Jay Moonah) take you through a wide selection of tunes from yesterday and today (but not tomorrow, at least not until we buy that time machine.) The workshop is followed by the friendliest open stage in the GTA.
Circle: An 'open' jam style night using the Scarborough Uke Jam back catalog of charts. A more casual kind of session: no amplification, no workshopping new tunes, mainly just ukes rather than a full rhythm section. If you have a song to share with the group, bring a bunch of copies!
