Meetup July 12, 2025
Our 1st meetup of the month is on July 12th.
We are honored and very excited to welcome Fred Sokolow to the Plucking Strummers.
Fred Sokolow is best known as the author of a library of instructional books and DVDs for ukulele, guitar, banjo, Dobro, mandolin and lap steel. There are currently over a hundred and fifty of his books or DVDs in print, sold all over the world. Fred has long been a well-known West Coast multi-string performer and recording artist, particularly on the acoustic music scene.
He has led bluegrass, jazz and rock bands and has been sideman for musical luminaries like Bobbie Gentry, Jim Stafford, Tom Paxton, Jerry Garcia, Jody Stecher, The Limeliters and Ian Whitcomb.
Fred will be teaching bluesy songs and improvisational skills in the key of A, a great key for blues on the uke.
The PDF of Freds teaching arrangement is posted here and the top of our Facebook page and on our website, or you can email Gene
