American Uke Master is a lively and heart-warming musical journey through 146 years of the ukulele’s unlikely history — performed with Lil Rev’s jaw-dropping prowess showcasing the instrument’s surprising sonic potential.

This isn’t your granddad’s run-of-the-mill Tiptoe Through the Tulips or Somewhere Over the Rainbow ukulele variety show! This tapestry of songs, poetry, stories and ukulele lore tells the story of the ukulele’s humble Portuguese beginnings, its journey to Hawaii, it’s spread around the world and modern popular comeback.

This imaginative one-man show features a motherlode of music, spanning folk, pop, blues, bluegrass, Broadway, country, and rock; masterfully performed by the Johnny Appleseed of the American ukulele revival, Wisconsin’s award-winning folk troubadour: Lil Rev. 

Audiences will laugh, cry and sing-along as they develop a rich appreciation for this little instrument’s ability to warm hearts, lift spirits, and wile away cares!
