"The Ukulele Scramble... mix songs from the Renaissance to the rock era, sometimes writing new and hilarious lyrics to classic songs. Their harmonies are beautifully balanced and their stage presence is friendly and engaging. Their arrangements involve a range of ukuleles from soprano to tenor and 8-string... Our audience was delighted and I can't recommend them highly enough." -- Faith Kaufmann, Head of Arts & Music, Forbes Library, Northampton, MA
