The Webb-Tigert Ukulele Duo
Ok, y’all: this is NOT background music for a corporate luau or a re-hash of Tip Toe Thru The Tulips.
Lisa Webb and Bob Tigert are seasoned Nashville pros, both for LIVE gigs and in recording studios, who are playing Americana, country, rock and roll, R&B, jazz, blues and more…, using an assortment of ukuleles (huh?!?!?) in amazing and engaging ways.
They write much of their material (and they write REALLY well!); and their performances as they travel across the United States have been glowingly described in national media as “awesome,” “compelling,” and “a force to be reckoned with;” and they have been written up as “genuinely nice people.”
Their first album together (who can count how many records they have appeared on, individually?), The Webb-Tigert Ukulele Duo, was released in March, 2023, at an international ukulele festival, and audiences and artists from around the globe started playing, singing and recording their songs immediately.
Watch their introduction video here.
Unique, groove-based, intricate, polished, beautiful, funky – it all applies.
Webb-Tigert just might be your new favorite group.

Location
Adress: Khleslplatz 7, 1120 Wien
The parish hall of „Pfarre Altmannsdorf“ has been our festival’s home since last year. The lovely garden is perfect for a little jam in the sunshine and the inside is turned into our concert hall by our hard-working sound engineers. Food and drink is provided by members of our non-profit organization „Flying Ukuleles“ for donations.
The location is located 5 minutes walk from the U6 station „Am Schöpfwerk“.

About our festival
The Vienna Ukulele Night or VUN was first held in 2014. With open mics, concerts and workshops the event soon became Vienna’s Ukulele Highlight. Organized by the non-profit organization „Flying Ukuleles – Ukulele Club Austria“, all the voluntaries work tirelessly to make VUN as great as it is.
Since 2023 the Vienna Ukulele Nights has morphed into a 2-night event with even more ukulele fun.
Raffle
We plan to hold a raffle again. With some beautiful ukuleles and other things 😉
