Aloha Patrons!

Please join me for the premiere of a new music video for "Blackbird," the opening track from my Billboard-charting album Ukulele Days.  

The video premieres Tuesday at 12pm Hawaii / 3pm San Francisco / 6pm NYC / 11pm London / 8am Sydney (Wed).

After the premiere, you can watch the video at the same link.

This video marks another collaboration with Bay Area director and cinematographer Robert Gomez Hernandez of Alumiere Media.  When I was back in San Francisco for SF Uke Fest, we found a couple of hours to visit the redwood grove in Golden Gate Park for this shoot.  Just watching this video brings back the distinct earthy scent of the trees covered in dense fog that feels so San Francisco.  I've really missed working with Robert, and I'm glad we were able to get together and create.

If you haven't had a chance to learn Blackbird yet, you can watch the tutorial here.

Enjoy, and please take a moment to revisit the Ukulele Days album - every stream, download, and review helps to teach the digital music platforms to recommend my music to others.  I'm always grateful for the support of the Patrons that helped put this album on the Billboard charts (two years later, still kinda can't believe it!).

And leave a comment here or on the video and let me know what you think!

Hi Cynthia! I have been working on your blackbird arrangement for months and loving it!! However my plucking the cords does not produce a loud enough sound like yours! Fingerpicking yes!!! - plucking no.... Can you please post some plucking tips or direct me to one of your videos that could help my plucking sound improve? Thanks so much! I am loving ukulele because of you!!!!!

I can't find the chord chart or the lessons on the patreon website. Where are they?
