Seattle Ukulele Players Association (SUPA) is a Washington nonprofit corporation founded in 2003 to promote fellowship, entertainment, performance and education among ukulele enthusiasts in the Puget Sound region.
Upcoming SUPA Events:
- Sunday, February 7: Workshop and Song Circle
- Join us at the West Seattle Senior Center for a workshop with Matt Dahlberg from Mukilteo starting at 1:15p. Workshop only $15 and includes the song circle. Song circle only (2:30-4:30p), $3.
- Matt "The Jumping Flea" Dahlberg (www.thejumpingflea.net/) teaches a wide range of levels from first-time players to intermediate who want to progress in their knowledge and skill of the instrument. Concentrating on strumming and chords, he incorporates music theory into his teaching in a simple, easy to understand way. All experience levels are welcome.
- Sunday, March 14: Song Circle, Open Mic, and Swap Meet
- This is the SECOND Sunday of March. We're "auditioning" a possible new location at the Phinney Neighborhood Association to see if it might fit our growth needs over Ballard. Let's try it out and see if we like it. Plenty of parking! Lots of room!

Join SUPA at the Phinny Neighborhood Association (6532 Phinney Ave N - Map) for our annual swap meet, open mic, and song circle. Doors open at 1:00p. Swap meet & open mic until 2:30p.
