Patron Events for August 2018 (Patreon)

Aloha Patrons! 

A big warm welcome to the many new Patrons - a couple dozen of you joined after the Happy video release last week, glad to have you!  The feedback for the Happy video has been tremendous, 20,000+ views since last Friday.
Thanks to all of you for directly supporting my work and for helping to spread the word!

A note for newbies - I know Patreon can be a bit hard to navigate.  Please be patient and explore, and see the Community Notes at the bottom of this post for more info on joining our communities and where to get help!

Thanks to everyone who joined me yesterday to kick off the Instagram Live Mini-Concert Series. Tune in again this Wednesday, 5 songs @ 5pm Pacific Time!  In the mean time, check my Instagram (@cynthialinmusic), I'll be sharing clips from the mini-concert.

This month - focus on Motown

I've caught the Motown bug, all because of my friend and uke partner Ukulenny.  Those of you who attended the Mighty Uke Day Festival got a taste of this.

To shake things up a bit this month, we're going to focus on Motown and classic soul.  I'm excited to present Motown song choices for our vote this month, and our Beginner Jam will use Ukulenny's Motown Jam Packet.

For our Intermediate Live Jam this month, we'll have Ukulenny in person as a guest teacher for a Motown Rhythms Workshop!  $20+ Patrons will be able to watch online, and Bay Area local folks can attend in person.  I'll share more details in a separate post for the $20+ Patrons.
