All skill levels are welcome to attend. We typically play 16 - 18 songs from our library and sprinkle in any open mics you may be working on.
Mask wearing is a personal decision and we respect your choice.
Throw a few $$ in the hat if you can. Tips are good Karma.

Fort Erie Ukes - Ukulele Jam #85 - Nov. 21, 2024 @ Crystal Ridge Library
Hey Everybody!!! Couple of new songs this week, both are really easy to play with just 3 chords each....and REALLY fun to sing.
"Paradise" by John Prine was open mic'd by Kent last session and I love it.....I think you will too.
"Hotel Yorba" by the White Stripes. Woohoo this one was actually recorded at 195 beats per minute but we'll slow it down to around 180 to make it a bit easier. Lots of fun on this one.
Here's some Youtube links....

Couple of my favourite songs for our next session. "Cat's in the Cradle" which I'm sure everyone knows was Harry Chapin's biggest hit. One of those songs with a message!! The second song is "Why Worry" by Dire Straits...I love this one. I wasn't able to find the tabs for that great intro, but the chords work pretty good. Here's a Youtube link.....

Hard to believe we started this little group way back in April 2021....we're going into our 4th year. Well, time does fly.
I think you'll like this set list and the couple of new songs. "18 Holes" is a spoof written by John Denver and based on Tennessee Ernie Ford's 16 tons. Since we'll be playing at the golf course.....I thought a fun golf song would be a good idea. Thanks for the idea Colin!!

Hope you like these two new songs this week. One you all know....Lyin' Eyes by the Eagles. The other may not be as familiar. It's a fun Newfoundland song called Black Rum and Blueberry Pie that many have covered. Here's a link to a version by Anne Murray. Notice the carter style picking on this version and we'll give it a try. You would pluck the 4th (G) string and strum the 1, 2 and 3 strings. Here's a Youtube tutorial...

Hey Everybody!!Well that was quite the blast of winter last week. Darn cold every day, snow and more snow and we're tired of shoveling it. Warmer this week and hopefully that continues.
We'll use the same set list and song sheets that were scheduled for last week. The Cup Song originally goes back to 1931 written by A.P. Carter. It's been recorded by everyone under the sun, most famously by Anna Kendrick for the movie Pitch Perfect. Bring along a cup if you can do the cup routine....(lol, you've had a couple weeks to practice) would be fun! Here's a Youtube link....

Fort Erie Ukes - Ukulele Jam and Open Mic - January 4, 2024
Hey Everybody!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
Well the new year seems to be "in like a lamb"....we'll see what happens from there! My Christmas was fabulous and I hope everyone was able to celebrate in your favourite way.
No new tunes for this session. I've just plain run out of time to get any together. So....it's an all 60's set this time around. Gosh there's so many great tunes in that decade.
There's one revised song sheet - 59th Street Bridge Song is now version V2-01/24
Here's a Dropbox link to the set list and song sheets

Hey Everybody....!!Time to start rolling out some Christmas music.
Along with a few Christmas tunes from the past few years, I've added "I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas"....such a fun little song from 1953 when 10 year old Gayla Peavey had a mega hit with it. Here's a Youtube link (love the orchestra)....
I Want a Hippopotamus For Christmas
The second new song is an old Perry Como classic...."Home For The Holidays"

Fort Erie Ukes - Jam Sesh and Open Mic #60 - November 23, 2023
Hey Everybody....!!Well......here it is the middle of November and another bright sunny day. Can you believe it? Time is just flying by.
This week we're going to belt out "Let It Be"...the classic Beatles tune and one of their greatest in my mind. No need for a link to that one, everybody knows it.
The second new tune is "A Daisy A Day". Great tune about about becoming friends, falling in love and growing old. A song from the '70's but seems much older. Here's a link....

We'll stick with the same Set List we planned for last time....I think it's a good one. The new tunes are "Yellow River" which Sandy did as an open mic a few weeks ago, and it's just too darn fab to not have in our library. And Tom gave us a great version of The Grateful Dead's "Uncle John's Band". I love this tune and it's a great one to have in your back pocket.

Hey Everybody!!Happy Valentine's Day on the 14th!! Hope you're surrounded by loved ones, chocolate and flowers and more chocolate.
Two great new tunes this week that have both been covered by members open mics. Several weeks ago Sandra did "Yellow River" and it's just too darn fab to not have in our library. And Tom gave us a great version of The Grateful Dead's "Uncle John's Band"....love that tune. Note that I've also revised 3 songs on our set list....."Two of Us", "Ferry Cross the Mersey" and "I Will Wait". Be sure to download/print the correct versions.

Fort Erie Ukes - Jammin' at Fort Erie Golf Club - July 22, 2021
Good news everyone. I've persuaded Fort Erie Golf Club that they need a little ukulele action every few weeks. We can play on their patio or move into the clubhouse if it gets too hot or rainy. Their bar is now open and they have a limited dinner menu....burgers, wings, sandwiches, etc. You could even book a pre-jam tee time...why not!!!??? FE Golf is a short executive course and you can easily get around 9 holes in an hour and a half....allow 3 1/2 hours for 18. Our jam will start at 6 pm.Here's a link to our Set List and Song Sheets. There's a few new tunes and some revised versions of tunes you know.
