Hawaiian · Swing · Vintage Americana
Warm musical landscapes drifting from the gentle sway of traditional Hawaiian melodies to lively swing and beloved classics of the 40s–60s. Every performance is an invitation to sing along.
Tumbleweed Island grew out of the West Seattle Ukulele Players Association — a community where the aloha spirit runs deep and the coffee runs deeper. Three friends discovered that Hawaiian warmth and vintage Americana aren't so far apart after all.
We play the music that makes people feel something: the gentle sway of a beachside evening, the bounce of a 1950s dance hall, the bittersweet sweetness of a song your grandparents knew by heart.
Whether you catch us at a neighborhood festival, a private event, or a backyard gathering, we promise to leave the room a little warmer than we found it.

Lively, toe-tapping arrangements of the Great American Songbook — Django, Louis, Ella, and everything that swings.
Beloved songs from the 1940s–60s that audiences know and love — perfect for singalongs and summer evenings.
