Vince Esquire has played guitar and ukulele with the Allman Brothers, Willie Nelson, G Love and Adam Sandler - as well as being an excellent musician in his own right. We talk about his rock influences - including how the Eddie Vedder ukulele album changed things for him. We also talk about his band Kanekoa, their new album Songs from the Great Disruption, and all the collabs they did for it, including one with Jake Shimabukuro. We also talk about playing Hot Cross Buns on the recorder!There's also a great ukulele story from listener Nick Witherow who tells us all about the limited edition signed George Formby banjolele that his father left him - and whether or not it would be a good idea to get it fixed.Ukulele Tales is sponsored by Kala Brand Music!
