Anyone enjoy this guy's amazing ukulele playing?
His version of While My Guitar Gently Weeps is amazing!

Listening now. Some fabulous stuff! While the intense Malmstein-type stuff is impressive, I like the slower lying on the beach stuff. The uke has such an awesome chill-out tone. So Pacific in contrast to the Caribbean reggae island vibe.

I agree. The more mellow songs sound Hawiian. He did a nice cover of "Time After Time" and "In My Life."Styles Bitchley wrote:Listening now. Some fabulous stuff!

I'm glad this popped up again. I was fortunate enough to see him last summer at small venue here. The show was great, and he does a meet and greet after the show.

Did anyone see the cameo appearance in the Jennifer Aniston/Adam Sandler movie "Just go with it" He is in the background playing his ukulele toward the end by the bar scene.
