What we’re about
Welcome! Welcome to the Hau`oli Strummers Ukulele Club of San Diego. Hau’oli is Hawaiian for happy and that’s what we are. We are a great community of uke players who get together to strum, sing, learn, teach, share, and most of all, have fun. We welcome anyone and everyone to join us.
Skill Level We welcome all skill levels from the newest uke noobs to total uke stars. If you’ve never strummed or sung a note in your life, our club is a great place to be. The strum-along format makes it easy to join in while you’re learning. If leading a song is your jam, there are plenty of opportunities to do just that.
Music We play a wide variety of music including Rock, Pop, Country, Standards, Hawaiian and more. Over the years we have compiled a great Hau'oli Strummers Songbook and a Google Songbank containing the songs we play at our music jams. Songbooks are available as a free PDF and hard copies are available for sale or loan at the meetings. A link to the G-Songbank is included on the Meetup event descriptions. All instruments are welcome including, but not limited to, banjoleles, guitars, congo drums, melodicas and especially kazoos!
When Our main meetings are on Tuesday nights starting at 6:00 or 6:30 (depending on location) and ending between 8 - 9 pm. We participate in other events too. Click the 'Events' tab above for more information. Join us at a Tuesday Night Meetup jam; it's super fun.
Can't get enough ukulele fun? Neither can we! Our Meetup site also lists some additional or related ukulele group links and events, including Cadence's and Karen's Oasis Jams that happen once per month on Mondays and David's Group that meets in Pacific Beach on Thursdays.
Questions or Comments? There is more information in the "Pages" section of our Meetup site. You can also contact us by joining the Meetup group, sending a message, posting on the group message board, or better yet . . . come to a meeting, we'll chat and have some fun!
Hope to see you soon! Mahalo!
