My new ukulele hero - Jan Laurenz

kissing · Nov 12, 2012

I came across his videos while doing a search on Youtube.
At first I thought "Oh another bedroom hobbyist like myself", until I listened to his videos and realised that this guy is really amazing!

I've become a fan of his style of playing, and it appears he has a ukulele CD coming soon.

Check it out!

I also really like his Clocks cover and a few more!

No affiliations whatsoever. Just someone who admires his work.
I did a search on UU and found there weren't any topics about him yet.

I subscribed to Jan's YouTube channel a couple of years ago and asked if he might consider doing something on the ukulele.

This guy is a stringed instrument virtuoso, especially on tap instruments like the Chapman Stick.

Yeah that's the style that my husband doesn't think can be done on uke , or else he'd play one. No excuses now!

There would be many more virtuosos if people took the ukulele seriously.

A great video of his if it isn't already posted (tl;dr)

Thanks for posting this, kissing. He is absolutely fantastic. It's amazing how much talent is out there that we haven't heard before. I will certainly subscribe to his account.

What's amazing is the tone he's pulling out of some very modestly-priced instruments. Does Kala sponsor him? They oughtta.
