Ukulele based Rockabilly Song

Hi! My name is Scott. I have been writing and recording music for 20 years. After spending 10 years in Chicago based pop rock bands Saraphine and The Translation, I decided to try my hand at ukulele, and I have been playing and writing ukulele based ditties since 2009. I have a lot of friends who were are more successful than me, but I sure do a mean Runaround Sue. Let me create a custom ukulele song or full instrumentation song for you!

Check out my song samples listed above.

(Disclaimer: I can still rock a guitar. If you aren't feeling the aloha, I can make the acoustic sing)
