Upcoming Events
Keoki's Kanikapila Hawaiian Jam
Last Fridays at 6pm
Aloha kakou/everyone! Come join Keoki & Ho'okane Ukulele for a relaxed evening of Mele O Hawai'i (Songs of Hawaii). Learn some beautiful songs that inspired the tourism trade in the islands (hapa haole music) and perhaps pick up on a few traditional Hawaiian songs as well. Guitarists, bassists, cajon players (and of course, ukulele players) as well as those who just like to sing and have the spirit of aloha in their hearts are welcome to join us for our kanikapila/jam session.
River City Ukulele Orchestra Rehearsal
Second, Third, and Fourth Saturdays at 10:30am
The River City Ukulele Orchestra is a community-based group of like-minded individuals from Roseville, Ca and surrounding areas who enjoy delving into the finer points of ukulele playing as a group! Our goal is to have fun, and to raise funds for the Ukes for Schools non-profit program. We do this by performing several times a year at fairs, festivals and senior residence events...

"We don’t want to just sell stuff...we want to create a space for music enthusiasts to come together and pursue their passion of music-making." - Daniel Elliott
Family-owned full service, musical instrument store opened by Daniel Elliott Jr and Stu Herreid in May of 2012. Daniel had already been working on a business plan to open his own music store, while Stu was looking for a new meeting place for the rapidly growing ukulele club he had founded a few years earlier. They decided to join forces and the concept for The Strum Shop was born.

"I am absolutely pleased with The Strum Shop! When I called to get information for possible lessons for 3 of my kids, the gentleman on the phone was knowledgeable, friendly and patient with my questions. I have one taking drums with Evan, one taking guitar with Jon, and one taking piano with Julie. I am very pleased! You will not be disappointed shopping or taking lessons!"
- Jo Anna Lujan
"Very friendly staff, and seemingly willing to answer lots of noobie questions my friend had, with patience and smiles. Lots of ukelele, and small selection of guitars, and a few basses, accessories and sheet music, all for very reasonable prices. Wide selection of string sets, you can probably find what you need."
- Aaron Towers
"My special other and I went in yesterday about an hour before close in search of a Ukulele. They have TONS! The Strum Shop ended up having much more of a variety than other stores that I'd visited, and they have competitive prices too! But the one thing that stood out was Dan, the man whom we found out owned the shop! He was INCREDIBLY helpful, answered any and ever question we had, and even took the time to give my S/O advice on building her own Ukulele. Amazing shop, amazing owners, customer for life!"
