Presenting and organizing several jams, festivals and ukulele activities around Florida. Jay Nunes has been playing guitar and singing since he was twelve and his influence started long before that around campfires with his family. Every summer his parents would take the four kids to Ginny B campground in Foster Rhode Island and most nights they would get together with their camping buddies and play guitar and sing songs by the fire. The Platters, Elvis, Peter Paul & Mary, and several artists and groups from the 40’s to the 70’s made up the song list from those wonderful times in his life. Even at the family home in Cranston RI the music never stopped. Three out of the Four siblings played guitar and sang together for years until they became adults and started their own lives.

In 2008 Jay suffered a major injury to his left hand that required three surgeries to repair and left him without the ability to play guitar. In July of 2009 he and his wife, fiancé at the time, were out shopping and he suggested they stop in a music store for no reason other then to be around musical instruments, He had tried to play several of the guitars there but he was unable to do so for any length of time without being in serious pain. On the way out he joked about this “Little Guitar” hanging on the wall. The salesman informed him it was a Ukulele and he should try playing it explaining a “D" Chord on Guitar was a “G" chord on the Uke. Jay played it and truly enjoyed the unique sound and playability this small instrument possessed. His Fiancé put her hand on his shoulder and said “Do you realize you have been playing that instrument for quite a while and have not complained about your hand hurting?”. He responded,”I have to have one!!!”. Two weeks later she presented that Ukulele to him for his birthday.
