a laughing Cali Rose plays a ukulele while reclining on a bench

 

Welcome to my website!

I am a singer, keyboard and ukulele player, songwriter, recording artist and a teacher. What fun!

I’m thrilled to be a professional musician and entertainer. It’s a wacky world and we need all the music we can get!

Wonderful things that people have written…

Thank you so much for putting in hours of work so that we can enjoy and learn. Music therapy is the greatest for me.

a ukulele with the word inspired

I also get inspiration from Dolly Parton. I’ve always loved her. But I recently heard a couple quotes I also like: “If you have a pulse you have a purpose.“ and “Don’t let the noise drown out your joy.”

These are hard times. I began this year asking our group (all in our 70s and 80s) if we still wanted to keep going.  I got a resounding YES from everyone.  We still have several gigs a month at various churches, senior centers, farmers markets, etc… and sometimes only 2 or 3 of us show up.  But like you said—just showing up is what counts.  So, we will continue to play and sing and hope for better times to come.  Keep up the good work.  You are an inspiration to us all.

Cali, thank you for all your hard work in creating the music sheet for Aloha ‘Oe. I’ve been working on it, watching the YouTube videos and appreciate the creative challenge you had to get it into a playable format for us seniors. Beautiful song and arrangement. Thank you.
