The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain will tour the U.S. in April 2018, bringing their "Heresy II Heritage" Tour to Boston, Atlanta, Madison, and 9 other cities across the Midwest and the Eastern seaboard. The program pokes fun at the stiff upper lip of the ensemble's British roots, and will include music from their recent studio album, "By Request: Songs from the Setlist" - a selection of fan favorites that ranges from the Beverly Hillbillies theme to ACDC's "Highway to Hell."
The all-singing, all-strumming Ukes of GB have played everywhere from pubs and village halls to iconic venues such as
Carnegie Hall and the Sydney Opera House. They've performed at Windsor Castle for the Queen's private birthday party (with Prince Harry himself playing one of their ukes), and have been featured on international TV from Asia, Europe, North America, to even the Artic. From Saint-Saëns to Lady Gaga, the group delivers a virtuosic collision of classical, post-punk, and toe tapping oldies with their completely original arrangements.
