Best singer playing the uke.

Lisa Hannigan deserves a mention. Not strictly an ukulele player, plays more guitar, but often seen with her MyaMoe:

Germany's Charlotte Pelgen, like

Raiatea is just a stunning singer. I haven't heard anybody else who plays uke who ever struck me as even coming close in power, control, and proficiency - male or female (except maybe Willie K, but he mostly played guitar). I've seen her live a number of times and it's always been top-notch, world class. Really one of the best in the business and probably doesn't get enough credit.

ok I just realized I probaby disqualified myself because he isn't playing a uke there, but his voice is incredible and he does play uke a lot and here he is doing it and sounding just as incredible

RIP Uncle Willie K. He could play and sing rock-and-roll, blues, opera, folk music (from different countries), reggae, traditional Hawaiian music, and medleys combining different styles. His live shows were always fantastic.

What about Kelly boy Delima? If you're in Waikiki, he plays fo free most Thursday nights at the Surfjack.

Dani Joy is a pretty good singer.

Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder is no slouch on uke and vocals either...

He may not have a lot of ukulele chops, but Lordie I love his voice!

He may not have a lot of ukulele chops, but Lordie I love his voice!

You bet! Great voice indeed! Reminds me just a little bit of my longtime idol, Terry Kath (Chicago's original guitarist, now deceased, who sang such songs as "Make Me Smile" and "Colour My World").

 

[Larry U]

Danielle Anderson (Danielle Ate the Sandwich) has a lovely voice.

 

[Rllink]

I like James Hill. I like his style.

Thanks, many of these videos are really good.

I think this one is a stunning singer.

SOTU 544 -- Tell the Tale!

that sounds like a foreign language... took me some time to figure out what was going on I'll give you an English translation, but please try to figure it out for yourself first. To make it singable, just add "E" "Y" every so often and "To My Roo-Dye-Roo-Dye-Roo" after every other line. (or...

Carry on!
