Mr Ukulele! And more

I work with Tom on WMNF's annual ukulele festival and not only is he one of the best uke players in FL --lot's of original songs with a cover or two for spice. Not sure what you need--but he is a full band in a box. PA --got it. Backline-got it, need a fill in He can do it. And when it comes to promoting the event he's your man--he's a natural on TV and on radio.
