Yowsah! the Ukulele noir in Shirley was fantastic....nice turnout and GREAT sound. Everyone sounded killer...but, ohmygod, I've never heard Uke Box perform live and Shelley's voice is SO FUCKING RICH it's like a lovely creme sauce! damn.
...They were so well rehearsed and professional you couldn't help but be impressed. Shelley's voice was like liquid honey. IF you have a chance to see them live...go for it.
-Craig Robertson
Craig's Ukulele Noir CD release event was outstanding...Uke Box ROCKS, Shelley & Marko are a dream team--traveling all the way from Holland, no less.

After the break up of the Zaagmolen Band in the spring of 2005* we, Marko van der Horst & Shelley Rickey, had a musical breakdown… (*our fiddle player impregnated a Fin…he has since immigrated to Helsinki. Musicians are fertile….it happens)
…Until, on a whim we bought two ukuleles at Japies Accordeon Palace. Well, within a month we were on stage as 'The Uke Box'. Of coarse, it was quite, shall we say, experimental, in the beginning. But since this time we have developed quite an eccentric little act comprised of nostalgic tunes and off-beat theatrics. Besides Ukuleles we also use and abuse a Banjolele, a Child Prodigy Midget Accordion, a Washtub Bass and a Toy Piano. Our mission is to create the best damn show ever that fits into just one traveling trunk!
