Jams 'N' Cocktails

In this wildly entertaining episode of Jams 'N' Cocktails, host Brad Brock welcomes the one-man musical tornado Ukulele Russ all the way from Alaska. With a sharp wit and sharper ukulele skills, Russ dives into stories of his off-grid lifestyle, Alaskan music scene adventures, and how he became a full-sounding band who fits in a single-engine plane.
The show kicks off with laughs, shots of the week (featuring the legendary Alaskan Duck Fart), and tales of the Howling Dog Saloon. Russ shares how he broke into the Florida Trop Rock scene, details the quirks of touring from the frozen north, and reflects on avoiding the “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” ukulele cliché. He also gives shoutouts to the Treasure Coast music family, his all-star band, and his favorite ukulele luthier, Tom from Far North Ukuleles.
Highlights include hilarious banter, original tunes like “Mosquitoes” and “Tomato Dirt Work Blues,” a crowd-fluffing cameo at Terra Fermata, and a mind-blowing Van Halen cover—all on ukulele. With a mix of comedy, candid life lessons, and genre-defying music, this episode is one unforgettable ride.
