The Dancing Fleas

General Admission show - Tickets $10 --- 

The Dancing Fleas, aka America’s Premier Ukulele Party Band, are a ten piece combo, heavy on the ukes but light on the attitude.  Their uplifting originals and covers have been known to make even the most jaded hipsters smile unselfconsciously.  The Fleas bring their high energy, big fun approach to a genre-bending set of tunes with styles ranging from classic country to sassy funky.  Expect dueling ukuleles, blistering pedal steel licks, and big harmonies from the band’s five vocalists.  The band’s debut album, The Dancing Fleas Play the Music of Don Gibson, is streaming on all platforms along with a handful of tasty original singles.  Once you’ve seen them live, you’ll join the ranks of the #fleabitten!

“Sometimes the only thing standing between you and a good time are your own reservations. These are the times when the jaded music critic in you should just let your hair down, get up out of your seat and shake your groove thing. These are the times for The Dancing Fleas to liberate your inner geek and let you remember what it was like to not be so dang self conscious about what people might think. Music fans often use the term "guilty pleasure" to refer to music that they keep to themselves even though it makes them smile. The Dancing Fleas are here to relieve you of this guilt. Go ahead, lay that burden down, brothers and sisters. Jump up out of that pew and come down front where we all can shout and sing! 

But here's the other thing: The Fleas are actually very good. Like, tasty licks. Original songs that are instantly memorable. And an unlimited supply of that joyous, nerdy charisma. If you don't believe me, just drop in on their set and you will understand. No reservations necessary. “ -Joe Kendrick, WNCW
