Our Story
It's A Ukulele Day! Vincent Mungo and Norine Mungo, a songwriting team, performing as The Mungos, and also the famous Reenee and The Rollers Uke Band. Their covers are impeccable, their harmonies divine, and their songwriting is renowned. Performng Concerts and Festivals, and giving workshops in Ukulele techniques, this country rock duo is taking it to a whole new level. Appearances on WMNF radio of Tampa, Fox News Charlie Belchers World, Bay News 9 with Virginia Johnson, and 10 at 10, and multiple appearances at Uke It Out festival in St Pete Florida,as well as being the founders of the FREE World Ukulele Day Concert in Dunedin Florida, has kept Norine and Vinny at the forefront of the Tampa Bay Uke Scene. With the original song, It's An Ukulele Day, (also called It's A Ukulele Day) they are seeing responses from clubs and groups across the country and around the world, passionately playing and videoing themselves doing this Uke Anthem! They hope you can join them in this adventure and share the love of Ukulele!!!!
Workshops and Jams and Open Mics, oh my!
Norine has been giving workshops for Ukulele for several years, and has developed a method that speeds the learning process. She calls it Transitional Chording Technique. As noted in Ukulele Magazine.
She also teaches songwriting workshops at festivals and has been active in developing young writers in the Tampa Scene. From young to sprung, as she says, everyone can play tough songs, and everyone can write simple ones. (Though she has written some very complicated ones, she loves the simplicity of a good 3 chord song!)
Also Co hosting the outrageous long running 6 years plus Rock Uke Jam, called South Tampa Ukulele Jam, and hosting the 9 year running Open Mic at the Whistle Stop in Safety Harbor with Hubby Vinny, she keeps the heart and soul of the Tampa Bay Ukulele Society pumping!
