Gerald Ross (geraldross.com) is one of the finest instrumentalists on the scene today. Whether he is playing the guitar, the ukulele, or the Hawaiian steel guitar, his music expresses a sense of rhythm and melody that is rare in contemporary music. Gerald’s musical virtuosity and entertaining mix of swing, blues, Hawaiian, American roots music and Tin Pan Alley are a joy to hear.

Joining Gerald on the Centennial Stage is fellow ukulele aficionado Frank Youngman, who has been playing all types of music his whole life. A multi-instrumentalist, he has performed in places as diverse as The Improv Comedy Club in New York City to A Prairie Home Companion. A founding member of The Lost World Stringband, Pet Survey, and Jive at Five, Frank continues to keep a busy recording and performing schedule. The uke was his first instrument.
