We’re back at Swallow Hill for our annual spring Denver UkeFest Podcast with first time guest Stu Fuchs, plus Aldrine Guerreo, Aaron Nakamura, and Casey Cormier. Our conversations go from song arranging using a fish bowl, to ukulele festival cruises and sea sickness, to Scandinavian blue grass heavy metal, and so much more.
