Enjoy Ukulele Music on Tuneful Tuesday at Rock Island Library

Tuneful Tuesdays hosts area and visiting musicians on the first Tuesday of each month from noon to 1:00 pm in the Community Room of the Rock Island Downtown Library, 401 19^th Street. The series is made possible by funding from long-time Rock Island patrons Carol and James Horstmann.

On Tuesday, February 1, the Rock Island Public Library hosts the Quad City Ukulele Club. The Quad City Ukulele Club provides a forum for fans of the small instrument to play and sing together. It was founded in 2012, and often plays at local venues and events. Performances go beyond typical ukulele repertoire to include folk and even classic rock. The Club is open to anyone interested in playing ukulele. For current information, please contact them via their Facebook page.

Coming up next in March is a musical journey to the Emerald Isle with Turas, of Peoria, IL. The Irish traditional band from central Illinois will play a wide variety of Irish and Celtic tunes at the Rock Island Public Library on Tuesday, March 1, also from noon to 1:00 pm.

Tuneful Tuesday performances are free and open to any member of the public. Seating will be socially-distanced, and masks are currently required for all visitors to the Rock Island Public Library, regardless of vaccination status.
