Bob is president and music director of the Austin Ukulele Society, which he co-founded in 2011. For the Society, he leads a monthly gathering of over 140 players and singers. Bob has played ukulele for over fifteen years and has been teaching folks to play and sing for nearly all of that time. He has performed and taught ukulele workshops at the Kerrville Folk Festival, Lone Star Ukulele Festival, Midwest Ukulele Festival, and New York City Ukulele Festival. Bob has also enjoyed playing ukulele with bands that include Shorty Long and The Pine Beetles. He currently teaches a series of beginner-level courses with the LifeLong Learning Organization of San Marcos, Texas.
A tireless advocate of the ukulele in music education, Kevin teaches as many as 10 group classes per week in Austin and travels the globe teaching and performing at festivals. With his deep passion for Celtic music, he brings a new approach to fusing the ukulele with Celtic music in Ukulele Ceilidh. By preserving the original keys of the music, Kevin allows learners to deeply connect to the history of the music, develop new skills, and also be able to integrate with traditional Celtic instruments. Kevin's teachers include James Hill, Chalmers Doane and Kimo Hussey.
