Waukegan resident Jessie Hughes holds a ukulele that was for sale Sunday at the Aurora Ukulele Festival at Two Brothers Roundhouse in Aurora. When it comes to learning how to play an instrument, Waukegan resident Jessie Hughes says there’s no easier place to start that wrapping your hands around a ukulele.
“We had a lot of feedback from people with weather issues whether it was just too warm, too hot, too windy and it was something we had been discussing for about three years now,” event co-chairman Mark Strausberger said about a change in venue. “The Roundhouse was very generous about letting us have this festival here this year. We decided to throw it out there and give it a try, and I know a lot of the ukulele fests throughout the Midwest are also moving indoors.
A total of eight workshops were offered during the day with topics like strumming techniques, songwriting and improvising. Aaron Baer of Oshkosh, Wisconsin, was one of the scheduled performers Sunday at the seventh Aurora Ukulele Festival at Two Brothers Roundhouse in Aurora.
