Uncle Shoe

Uncle Shoe delights audiences of any description with his wit, charm, and poignant soliloquies. Accompanying himself on tenor banjo and ukulele, every proper tune is at his command. His material is at once boastful, humorous, opinionated, and romantic. Uncle Shoe’s repertoire is firmly seated in the wealth of topical and romantic songs from the Tin Pan Alley era {1860-1940}. Sometimes a little jazzy, always catchy- the tunes celebrate timeless nuances of the heart, society, and the human condition. Seldom will you hear such a rich voice convey the subtlest intimacies and alternately rise to meet the din of an elevated train–all to the greatest effect. Uncle Shoe is typically found about New York, Boston, and regionally; occupying a corner pub stage or accentuating a full scale production at one of the many great theatre houses.
