Britni Paiva at the Uke Hut

We are very fortunate to have the opportunity to see the premier female ukulele star at the Uke Hut next Tuesday! Britni is an old friend of the New York Uke Fest and loves the city. She has just begun an East coast tour and we found a gap in her schedule, so we could fit an appearance at the Uke Hut. Here is an except from a press release...

At 21 years of age, Brittni Paiva (pie –VAH) is already the preeminent female ukulele player from Hawaii. She's an award-winning multi-instrumentalist whose sound and concept are influenced by jazz, rock, flamenco, and classical music as well as world music from Brazil, Japan, and elsewhere.
Brittni’s new CD, Four Strings: The Fire Within (Talmidim Productions), was co-produced by Charles Michael Brotman, Hawaii’s first Grammy Award recipient. Some of the highlights include guitarist Johannes Linstead’s feature on “Hour of the Lamps”; the timeless and universally popular “Somewhere Over The Rainbow” (lately identified with the late great Israel Kamakawiwo'ole, but the sound is unmistakably Brittni’s); and Carlos Santana’s classic “Europa”. The rest of the album consists of cover tunes and originals that display Brittni’s technique and passion.



Usually, Britni performs in large concert halls. In this case, ticket sales will be limited to 100, so it will be a very cozy and intimate show. Opening for Britni, will be Kohli Calhoun, who wowed the Uke Hut audience last month. Doors will open at 7PM. See you there.
