Uke Night: An opportunity for ukulele players to join an informal, fun jam session (open to the public for total ukulele enjoyment) followed by a performance of a featured uke group.
7pm Jam session.
9pm Lloyd United: One part pop ukulele outfit, one part hooligan prog rock experience and one part beer-soaked Irish drinking song mob, Lloyd United blends unique singing and songwriting talent with a party-til-you-drop attitude. With raunchy and psychedelic wah-wah-drenched ukulele riffs along with other folk instruments such as accordion and mandolin, the group brings a melodic sensibility and a unique instrumental take to established rock and pop favorites. Lloyd United also was featured on FUV radio, NPR’s “Metro Connection” and Ireland’s “On the Verge” radio show and had songs featured in two movies “I’ll Bury You Tomorrow” and “Blood Shed.”
“Ok, if the New York Dolls ever needed a ukulele player, it would be Lloyd United!! Weilding an electric uke, Lloyd had the crowd right from the get-go.” -Pop Vulture

“the Ukuladies are not simply a musical act – they’re a full-scale entertainment featuring singing, dancing, acting, comedy and equine fire-breathing. And their arsenal of props also include a frying pan, a ghost horse with devil horns, fake beards and mustaches, aprons, a log, soda cans, funny money, a toy six-shooter, globes on strings, random signage, a cardboard jukebox and many other assorted items too humorous to mention….There was so much going on onstage both musically and visually at all times, that you’d have to see the show at least twice just to catch half the action. The performance was zany, smart, musically spot-on and action-packed – full of sass and spunk” – THE TIMES UNION
