Ukulele Jams

New for 2025! We will be using Petey Mack's famous songbook (Feb 2023 version) for all of our jam sessions this year. Each jam will have a song list pulled from Petey's book and a jam-specific songbook will be released if you do not want to have to handle the full book. As always, jam books will be distributed electronically prior to the festival.

The chord sheets will be projected during the jams.

An outstanding festival for ukulele players, both beginners and experienced. The ability to interact face-to-face with the amazing guest performers, other uke players, and vendors was invaluable.

The Soirée should win an award for the best organized ukulele festival!

The Soiree is a great program to attend. It is well organized, with a great deal of expertise, thoughtful planning and reasonable fees. Well seasoned presenters make the sessions productive and organized!

Top notch! Fantastic instructors! Very enthusiastic, informative and knowledgeable. Superb presentations. I learned so much this weekend
The Allegheny [Ukulele] Soirée is a ukulele smorgasbord...something for every age, talent level, social class...my friends are there
This festival is well run, feels intimate, and really helped grow my skills and push me to be a better player. I love the teaching artists, and the jams were fun!
