George Hinchcliffe’s Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain and Aubrey Logan Band are bringing fun and engaging music to Walton Arts Center April 26 and 27.

There are no drums, pianos, backing tracks or banjos used by the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain, yet you will swear there are. You’ll hear the seven members perform hits from from ABBA to ZZ Top, Tchaikovsky to Nirvana, Lady Gaga and occasionally a “spaghetti Western.” The orchestra plays at 8 p.m. April 26. The concert is part of the Walton Arts Center’s 10×10 Arts Series, so tickets are only $10.

Next up, the Aubrey Logan Band will perform jazz, funk, love songs, Calypso-infused rhythms and traditionally inspired fusions at 7:30 p.m. April 27. Tickets are $33 for theater seating and $53 for cabaret seating at waltonartscenter.org or over the phone at 443-5600 or in person at the Walton Arts Center Box Office.
