Welcome to the Delta Strummers

Located in the East San Francisco Bay area (Brentwood, Discovery Bay and surrounding communities), we are an amateur group of ukulele and guitar players fostering the playing of the ukulele in an ensemble. We plan two performances a year at a local senior living community. Smaller groups of members play at assisted living communities and for local elementary schools.

Under the leadership of our prior Music Director, Ernie Macintyre, the group grew to around 60 members, adding depth and breadth to our music and singing. We welcome newcomers to the group, so consider playing the ukulele and joining the Delta Strummers.

Group ukulele practice

Our weekly group practices are held on Tuesday evenings at Summerset IV in Brentwood. Members pay a nominal practice fee each session.

Breakout Groups

Our performances feature several ‘breakout groups’, or ensembles of musicians/singers performing one or more songs. Several band members are also featured in solo renditions of some songs (playing &/or singing), with the backing of the band. Another featured ensemble, ‘The Banjoukers’, is a subset of the band playing banjo ukuleles (banjoukes) on appropriate numbers. ‘Side By Side’ is a breakout group of ladies who play and sing parts of, or entire songs.

Ukulele Lessons

Ukulele lessons are currently on hiatus. Meanwhile, if you wish to take lessons, contact Lamorinda Music in Lafayette.
