Ladies Auxilliary Ukulele Orchestra

The Ladies Auxiliary Ukulele Orchestra is a rare treat for irreverent unplugged fans across the country. Formed in 1994, the members now include songwriter and educator Bernice Lewis, composer and teacher Cathy Schane-Lydon, and artist Sarah McNair. Close-cropped harmonies and unrestrained ukulele strumming produce a highly original sound. Their sets boast something from every era, ranging from Mozart to Radiohead, all of which benefit from fresh arrangements and a vocal delivery with tongues buried firmly in cheeks. Nothing is sacred in the Ladies' quest for suitable material. Their sets boast something from every era, with expected and surprising genres equally lavished with attention to harmony, humor and originality.
