Event Description

a free performance by ukulele songwriter Aaron Lee
Weavers Way Garage at 542 Carpenter Lane
Friday, September 3, 7:30 p.m.

Admission is free. Try to bring a folding chair.
The performance is part of Lee’s “Ukulele by Bicycle Tour,” a series of concerts in communities across New England, New York and Pennsylvania from mid August to mid September. Concert-goers are urged to bring their own chair. Although the concerts are free, donations are accepted at each show to benefit an organization that is doing work in the local community.
Lee plans on performing four or five times per week, riding his bicycle between shows often 50-60 miles apart. He will be carrying everything he needs and camping out along the way. In this way, the concert will provide a positive community experience as well as raise awareness for a local organization.
In a global sense, the tour will promote the causes of living simply and sustainably (hence tour by bicycle), acting locally (working with a local organization), and the energy of bringing people together (the event will be a reason to get together).
In February of 2010, Lee released The Ukulele Project, a 14 song record in which all of the songs creatively and intentionally feature the word ukulele. Lee has performed all over New England alone and as part of a trio also featuring piano and upright bass. For more information about Aaron Lee’s tour, go to http://ukulelebybicycle.blogspot.com.
