The Duke of Uke and his Novelty Orchestra is a 7-piece orchestral funk-pop ensemble, based in Urbana-Champaign, Il, featuring four-part vocal harmonies, ukulele, violin, tuba, saxophones electric bass, rock drums, and Latin percussion. Energetic and unabashedly romantic, they enchant audiences with witty lyrics, complex vocal harmonies and funky rhythms. Their infectiously optimistic sound draws from a wide range of influences-from classical composers like Bach, to tin pan alley ragtime tunes, to rock and roll artists of the 60’s and 70’s. http://www.reverbnation.com/thedukeofukeandhisnoveltyorchestra
