Aloha! We’re glad you stopped by to find out more about the Las Cruces Ukes. We are located in beautiful southern New Mexico and welcome you to join us at our weekly Thursday night practices or attend our annual Las Cruces UkeFest in May.

We will hold our first performance of 2021 on June 21 at Good Samaritan – Las Cruces Village’s Social Center, 3011 Buena Vida Circle! As part of Make Music Day, we’ll host Uke-a-Palooza with a free hands-on lesson where participants will learn two easy chords and try out some songs. That starts at 6 p.m. Then at 7, enjoy a performance by our club!

NOTE: As of June 17, 2021, we are kickstarting our Strum for Fun sessions at a new time and welcome new (fully vaccinated) members to join us! Strum for Fun will be at 5:30 p.m. and Performance Group will start at 6:15 p.m.

Bill Gates recently picked up the ukulele. And Warren Buffett is a huge ukulele fan. I even got to strum a few chords with Francis Ford Coppola. It blows my mind that these people, who have everything in the world they could want, have picked up the ukulele and found a little bit of joy.

I love the ukulele. It’s got a beautiful, melodic tone to it. There’s something innocent and romantic, and it’s just a grand instrument to play.
