Kris Fuchigami: The Resurgence Tour Comes to CATS

Music lovers and ukulele enthusiasts gathered for an unforgettable evening featuring the incredible Kris Fuchigami, who wowed the crowd with his signature style and songs from his latest album, Resurgence. With stunning accompaniment by Keiko Fuchigami on keyboard, the night was filled with electrifying performances, heartfelt moments, and a deep appreciation for live music and AAPI artistry.

The event kicked off with a special ukulele workshop, co-produced by our friends at Ukulele Source, where attendees had the rare opportunity to learn directly from Kris himself. His passion and skill were on full display as he shared techniques, tips, and stories that inspired both beginners and seasoned players alike. As the evening transitioned into the concert, the energy in the room was simply electric—each strum of Kris' ukulele resonated with the audience, blending traditional sounds with modern innovation in a way only he can.

Adding even more beauty to the night, Hālau Nā Wai Ola graced the stage during intermission with a breathtaking performance, bringing the spirit of aloha to San Jose. It was a perfect complement to the evening, reminding us of the deep cultural roots and connections that music fosters. The overwhelming support from the community was palpable, and we are beyond grateful to everyone who made this night possible—our amazing volunteers, Mark at Wesley United Methodist Church, and our generous donors and grantors who help bring events like this to life.

If you missed this one, don’t worry—more incredible events are on the horizon! Until then, let’s keep the love for ukulele, live music, and the unstoppable Kris Fuchigami going strong. Stay tuned for what’s next, and mahalo to everyone who joined us for a night we won’t soon forget! 🎶✨
