This past Sunday (December 6), over 1,200 ukulele enthusiasts gathered at Brooklyn Bowl in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, for the second annual "Beatles: Complete on Ukulele" concert.
Organized by Roger Greenawalt, a New York-based producer who runs The Beatles Complete on Ukelele podcast, the event aimed to unite passionate ukelele aficionados from near and far to play the entire Beatles catalog in a single day.
Greenawalt kicked off the concert at noon, playing not only to ukulele aficionados, but to an array of Yoko Ono impersonators, as well. With over 100 ukulele players in attendance, highlights of the day included the Wolff Brothers (formerly the Naked Brothers), Spirit Family Reunion, and Frank Simms. Adam Green and the Morning Pages and Guster's Ryan Miller wooed the crowd through their uke-fueled renditions of classic Beatles jams.
