welcome to VIGGY NEWS - a very jiggy newsletter 📩

Hey friends! 👋🏻

I just got home from a lovely time at Las Cruces Uke Fest (recap coming soon) and my travels aren’t slowing down yet! Check out where I’ll be this summer…

Festival highlight! I’m so excited to be teaching and performing at the first ever Pleasure Island Ukecation in Kure Beach, NC next month. If you’re looking for a festival thats intimate, fun, and steps from the beach, then this is the fest for you! I’ll be teaching four workshops alongside fellow Ukulele Magazine cover star Sho Humphries (who I became fast friends with at the Las Cruces Ukulele Fest last weekend!) so it’ll be a blast.

When & Where: July 24-25th @ Historic Fort Fisher, NC

Tickets available at ukecation.com !

I’ll be teaching Strum & Drum, Fingerstyle Fun, Blues Basics with The Beatles, and Barre Chord Bootcamp! Come get jiggy with us and have fun in the sun 🌞
