Strummers Trailer

When the 20 odd hipsters who make up The Ukelele Orchestra of the Western Hemisphere suddenly start booking paying gigs they face a big decision. They started the band to make music, help their community and have fun -- but will success tear them apart?

Great story from George Pennachio and ABC News Team on Strummers and The Ukelele Orchestra of the Western Hemisphere

Formed in 2011 because a founding member had a dream about playing the 'ukulele (literally), this talented bunch came together to share their take on classic rock, new wave, rap, dance-pop, Top 40, classics - almost any unexpected genre with just one exception - no songs originally performed on 'ukulele. ​

The orchestra has an enthusiastic following who share the fun at celebrated LA venues like McCabe's, El Cid and The Coffee Gallery Backstage. The band's favorite gigs include community events and school fundraisers.
