Monster Monday Madness- Sleepaway Camp + Po' Boy and Ukelele Ed + Tim Haufe + Graz + Mary-Elaine Jenkins @ The Way Station

6pm- Monster Monday Madness- Sleepaway Camp

8pm- Po' Boy and Ukelele Ed
Genre: Jazz/Blues/Rock
For fans of: Ukeleles, Fedoras, and Kazoos

These two street rats play originals and covers of jazzy, bluesy, bopping, popping, rootsy songs with a peculiar charm all their own. Ukelele Ed plays an eclectic repertoire of covers/originals from old jazz standards like "Dinah" to Rolling Stones "Paint it Black" on the Ukelele. Po’ Boy brings a ragtime New Orleans flair to anything he touches with a style all his own and a wooden kazoo that he plays like a trumpet. They have been tickling the fancy of audiences of all ages all over the metropolitan area.

“Good Evening Ladies and Gentlemen, I’m Mr. Po’ Boy Reinhart, going to play some popping bopping bluesy rootsy tutti frutti groovy covers and originals for you. And this first one comes from Mr. Langston Hughes of the Harlem Renaissance. Lyrics from him, music by me it’s called the “Bound No’th Blues.”
