Aloha! We’re glad you stopped by to find out more about the Las Cruces Ukes. We are located in beautiful southern New Mexico and welcome you to join us at our weekly Thursday night practices or attend our annual Las Cruces UkeFest in May.

Our next performance will be at the Las Cruces UkeFest on Friday, May 16, at 7 p.m. at the Atkinson Recital Hall. Tickets are available at the door for only $10, with kids 12 and under free.

Bill Gates recently picked up the ukulele. And Warren Buffett is a huge ukulele fan. I even got to strum a few chords with Francis Ford Coppola. It blows my mind that these people, who have everything in the world they could want, have picked up the ukulele and found a little bit of joy.

I love the ukulele. It’s got a beautiful, melodic tone to it. There’s something innocent and romantic, and it’s just a grand instrument to play.
