Since January, the Wilkinson Public Library has hosted a weekly Uke Jam. Every Wednesday at 6PM, Ukulele players of all skill levels can come together and play for an hour. The series runs through the end of March 2020. KOTO’s Matt Hoisch stopped by one of the sessions and spoke with the Uke Jam’s founders, Madeline Allen and Ethan Hale.
