We love to play music and we love to perform for audiences and share this joyful experience with them.
Michael Kaplan masterfully plays the Baritone Ukulele - but not like anything you’ve heard or seen
before. Simultaneously stark and complex, he plays an homage to the Rhythm Masters of the past.
His Stride Ukulele lights up a performance proving that the Ukulele can and does Swing!
Jesse Chandler handles the Jazz and Swing Vocals with sweet melody, heartfelt lyrics and an
impressive variety of vocal styles. Along with Jesse’s highly anticipated percussion accompaniments,
she’s been known to pick-up a Ukulele herself, so as not to be left out of the String Swing!
The Ukulele Cowboy Society is a fun, hot, eclectic alternative Jazz and Swing Style Duo with a new spin
on the popular standards and influential artists of the 1920’s - 1950’s, and beyond! With the addition
of original songs reminiscent of the jazz standard style, the Duo rounds out their repertoire with
visual and acoustic originality, charisma, and flamboyance. The Ukulele Cowboy Society has much to
offer young and old, the informed and the uninitiated…
A modern musical experience with a hip, retro, theatrical twist which includes authentic, sparse,
haunting beauty, juxtaposed with high spirited, humorous and fun-loving excitement. The Ukulele
Cowboy Society are professionals who have been involved with music their entire lives and have a real
passion for contemporary classics of the 20th century, as well as a love of sharing it with an audience.
They capture a quality of song from popular jazz standards to classic country swing and even some
“old timey blues” that dig deep into undertones reminiscent of a time past in both sound and
mood. All recalling a refreshing mix of the tucked away Gin Joints of the past, coupled with the urban
sophistication of the Blue Note and the Spicy Pizzazz of the Cotton Club thrown in for Heat!
The Ukulele Cowboy Society plays for art galleries, bars, coffee houses, snappy bistros, swanky
restaurants, farmers markets, retirement facilities, private parties, nursing/hospital facilities,
libraries, theaters, music and art festivals and for fundraisers for music and arts education programs,
environmental causes, as well as restoration projects. The UCS is based in Columbus, Ohio and
entertains audiences across Ohio and “wherever else we’re called!”
The Ukulele Cowboy Society would love the opportunity to play for you!
