Ukulele tribute to The Beatles scheduled Sunday in Jim Thorpe

More evidence The Beatles, and the ukulele, never go out of style:

From 1-3 p.m. Aug. 29 at the gazebo in front of the train station in downtown Jim Thorpe, Nick Roberti and the Ukulele Institute will present a free show, "All You Need is Uke: Music of the Beatles, Ukulele Style."

The show will feature Beatles songs performed exclusively on the ukulele by Roberti  and students and friends of the institute in a playful tribute to the Fab Four.

The institute is a Jim Thorpe-based ukulele store and school. After the concert, a public reception will be held at the institute, at 531 Center St., Jim Thorpe.

The institute also holds free ukulele jams open to all ages and abilities on the first Monday of every month. The next one will be from 7 to 9 p.m.  Sept. 1 at the institute.
