City Cast Nashville

Host Grace Fuisz catches up with Music City Uke Fest founder Melanie Ching to talk all things ukulele — including how to properly pronounce the name of the tiny four-stringed instrument that’s captured the heart of millions. We’ve got your guide to this year’s debut festival — set for August 1-4 in Franklin — and a look into why growing Hawaiian and AAPI communities are calling Nashville home. 

Music City Uke Fest is supporting the Maui Food Bank to help those impacted by the severe wildfires in Lahaina and other areas of the island in 2023. Learn more and donate here.
