We'll be using the jazz manouche standard, Sweet Georgia Brown, as a vehicle to explore skills including comping chords up and down the neck, taking solos, playing lead melody and maybe even a chord-melody arrangement! There will be something to engage everyone, whether you're a strum-along-er or a virtuoso.

About Charissa Hoffman: A sixth-generation musician, Hoffman is eager to show audiences just how versatile the ukulele is. The fascination with the instrument carried her from Nashville, where she grew up, to Boston, where she was the first ukulele principal to be accepted at Berklee School of Music. Produced by John Mailander, her debut album, Horizon, includes special guests such as Béla Fleck, Abigail Washburn, Chris Eldridge, and Nina de Vitry.
