Your favourite Ukulele artist(s) ?

[Kermit80]

Lots of great ukulele players mentioned in this thread. One of my personal favorites is Evan J. De Silva. This young man has a genuine connection to music. He plays with sensitivity, style, and soul. If you watch a few of his videos, you’ll see what I mean.

The only ukulele player for whom I am a youtube subscriber is fellow forum member, Jim Hanks. I like the roughness of the videos and the sincerity. I appreciate his trailblazing.

My favorite is Kimo Hussey, but I really love listening to Cliff Edwards, Roy Smeck, George Formby and Tiny Tim. There are more I enjoy, but I like these players the most.

All of these are in my top 10 for sure. Roy Smeck flipped my lid when i first discovered him.

Lyle Ritz and Ohta-san
