Roots, Rags, Bluegrass & Ukes
The Big Tiny is a ukulele duo bringing fingerstyle fire and groove to four strings. With roots in jazz, ragtime, and bluegrass, their original tunes sparkle with rhythm and melody. From playful rags to driving reels, they deliver music that’s both timeless and unexpected.
The Big Tiny is a dynamic ukulele duo blending the traditions of jazz, ragtime, and bluegrass into a sound all their own. Founded by David Levitt and Brian Ailes, the group’s repertoire is built on David’s inventive fingerstyle compositions, inspired by the unique tuning of his Hawaiian-made uke, “Duke.” Brian’s genius lies in shaping countermelodies and top lines that give the music surprising depth — transforming simple grooves into full, orchestral textures. Tunes like Pickles,HopAlong Chastity, 10 Rue Fresnel, Soap Flake Snow, Marco Polo, and I-5 North showcase the duo’s playful spirit and virtuosic touch. Whether in intimate venues or festival stages, The Big Tiny brings a fresh voice to the ukulele world — sophisticated yet full of fun, with every performance rooted in the joy of discovery.
