SUMMARY:Saturday Night Showcase
DESCRIPTION:Launceston Ukulele Jamboree presents – Saturday Night Showcase\nUkulele Concert \n \n\n\nOur Saturday Night Showcase has something for everyone!\n\n\n\n\nFirst up we have The New Holland Honey Eaters (TAS) an old-time string band playing in the pre-WW2 Southern American tradition. You’ll be treated to music from the wide folk tradition\, ranging from rural string bands\, minstrelsy\, ballads\, ragtime\, and shape-note hymns\, to Cajun\, jug bands\, Jubilee and Gospel quartets\, western swing\, country blues and more! \nNext up is Rheinberger & Wilson (VIC)\, a musical comedy duo who are regulars on the Fringe Festival and Folk circuits. \n“A musical comedy duo combining razor-sharp songs about modern life & love with brooding accordion\, gutsy guitar\, ukulele & sweet harmonies. Rheinberger & Wilson are a unique Australian cabaret & comedy act\, going where other couples fear to tread.”\nQuote from Illawarra Folk Festival \nThe grand finale of our Saturday Concert is the 4-piece all-girl band Mama Juju & The Jam Tarts(QLD)! \nExpect quirky\, unique music\, stunning vocal harmonies\, exciting song arrangements\, a touch of naughtiness and an infectious energy. Mama Juju & The Jam Tarts play original songs that feature ukulele but also like to find and arrange kooky\, unusual or unexpected songs for the ukulele! From sweet jazz through to sassy blues and electrified rock ukulele complemented by a solid rhythm section of drums and bass\, the line-up also includes flute\, a genuine 1980s keytar (red for extra speed!)\, guitar\, harmonica and whatever other instruments they can lay their hands on. Their instrument-swapping antics and confusion about who is playing what just add to the onstage chaos!
