The May 2015 leg of the ‘Not A Ukulele’ Tour will feature Bryan Ranney (mandolin, vocals), Adam Andrews (washboard, harmonica), Matthew Flory (upright bass), and Colin Marino (guitar).

Ranney is celebrating the ‘Not A Ukulele’-ness of mandolins everywhere on his 2015 tour. He is singing original songs and winning fans the way an indie musician does: with stickers and t-shirts.

Following the reception of his debut album, Watershed, Bryan Ranney listened to the general public: Some, who might have previously asked, “Is that a ukulele?” had instead begun asking, “What is that? I know it’s Not A Ukulele.” Ranney interprets this subtle shift in language as a remarkable step forward for the popular awareness of his somewhat-obscure, kind-of-familiar, and not-entirely-unheard-of chosen instrument.
