Free Ukulele Performance in Menlo Park
Ukulele Master Hiram Kaailau Bell will share his talents April 20 at the Menlo Park Main Library
The Menlo Park Library is hosting a free performance by ukulele master Hiram Kaailau Bell.
The event will take place at noon on Wednesday, April 20 at 6:30 p.m. at the Main Library, located at 800 Alma Street. Bell will perform traditional Hawaiian music, as well as a few surprise pieces.
Hiram Kaailau Bell was born and raised on the Hawaiian island of Oahu. “Where I grew up,” he says, “a ukulele was sitting in the corner of everyone's house, and everyone would be strumming it.” Bell is a self-taught player, and since moving to San Francisco, he has been teaching others how to play in private classes as well as in college courses. He performs in clubs, festivals, and jam sessions, and he has released two albums of his music: “Sound Waves,” and “Santa Cruz Uke Club Presents Hiram Bell.”
