Curious and interested people are allowed to stop by a rehearsal (with a prior email to Mike) for listening for no charge, to hear and see what we do. If wishing to join the group following that, steps are as follows:

We will still have the in-person cash/hat option but request $10 for a drop-in player one time meet. This however does not allow access to the private Ukestra Members email account, with songbooks, setlist, plans and more content. They will have to look on with a regular Ukestra member. We also offer an up-front annual fee DISCOUNTED ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP of $150 through PayPal, check to “Mike Loce Music”, or cash. We meet much more than 15 times/year.

So the UKESTRA MEMBERSHIP pricing as of 2025:

DROP IN RATE: $10 cash for players for chosen practices on the calendar. (email me with questions at mikeloce@gmail.com)

BEST DEAL: $150 ANNUAL, let me know if you prefer check or cash. For PayPal, use the “friends/family send” feature:

(secure link above)

Paid members will receive access to more, including private Ukestra group email account access and calendar updates for all Ukestra members featuring content and information not posted on this site. Also, performance/networking opportunities and group events (potlucks, etc) are not offered to unpaid members of this group.

Occassionally we have “open rehearsals” at the Nashua LIbrary Theater, where there is no charge and audience chairs are provided for listening. Sort of in between a practice and a concert. These are advertised on our Facebook page:

UKESTRA FACEBOOK

Drop in player- member meets $10 cash/hat in person at locale.

PRACTICE FOR MEMBERS AT NASHUA LIBRARY THEATER, SELECT MONDAYS OF THE MONTH THROUGH THE YEAR, 7-8:30 p.m. Interested parties may stop by to observe a rehearsal without playing with a prior email to Mike. There are extra chairs.

I thank you for your continued interest!

Mike
