John recently reunited with the Full Monty Uke Band, a long running activity at the Montgomery Senior Center in Montgomery, New Jersey and funded by Montgomery Township. The group was formed in 2017 by John and senior center director, Denise Crowley. After getting it off the ground, John handed leadership duties over to Chris Gardella who has been running the show ever since. Now John has returned while Chris is on sabbatical.
While members have come and gone there is a hard core group of ukers who have been with the band since its inception and have performed all over central New Jersey. John rejoins the group as they work to refine their playing skills, expand their repertoire and incorporate vocalists. Right off the bat the group is working on “Eleanor Rigby”; “One” (Three Dog Night); and “Livin’ on a Prayer” … the Bon Jovi tune is a must play for this Jersey Strong band!
