Our Artists
Meet the talented performers lighting up Lake Guntersville Uketoberfest 2026.
Diego Cotabato began his ukulele journey at age 9. After a brief 35 year hiatus, he has reunited with the uke, and now entertains audiences with his unique solo arrangements of classic rock, pop, and other musical genres not often associated with the little 4 string instrument. Originally from the New York city area, he now calls the Nashville area home.
At 10 years old, Greg Gent’s parents gave him the choice between two things he really wanted: guitar lessons or an aquarium. Guitar lessons required work, so he chose the aquarium. 40 years later, he decided to learn a musical instrument, this time the ukulele. Greg has a passion for music education and is involved with local play-alongs, ukulele festivals and hosts a weekly online play-along with viewers from across the country and world. Greg has a ever-growing Patreon learning platform, is an Ambassador for KLOS brand ukuleles and also represents Mya-Moe brand ukuleles.
Lisa Webb and Bob Tigert are seasoned Nashville pros, for both LIVE gigs and in recording studios, who are playing Americana, country, rock and roll, R&B, jazz, blues and more, using an assortment of ukuleles in amazing and engaging ways.
They write most of their material (and they write REALLY well!); and their performances across the United States have been glowingly described in the national media as “awesome,” “compelling,” “a force to be reckoned with,” and maybe most importantly, “genuinely nice people.”
Their first album together, The Webb-Tigert Ukulele Duo, was released in March, 2023, at an international ukulele festival, and audiences and artists from around the globe started playing, singing and recording their songs immediately. Their second album (an ukulele country-gospel project, 4 Strings & The Truth, indeed) was released in April 2024, followed by their original music album (Love Ya Love Ya Love Ya) in August 2024. Their 3rd album, Music With Friends, was recorded (in 2025) with fellow musicians across the globe (including Calico, Devin Scott, Bill Wynne, Bob’s Your Uncle and others.)
LISA WEBB is a multi-instrumentalist and jazz vocalist. Growing up in a music-rich St. Louis, she earned a Master's in Music Composition from North Texas and hit the road. She has been fortunate to have performed and appeared with the LA JAZZ CHOIR, STEVE ALLEN, BOB HOPE, THE ROMEO SISTERS, GLEN CAMPBELL and LESLIE LEWIS and has recorded on the Concord Jazz Label with ROSEMARY CLOONEY.
After making Nashville her permanent home she continued her career as a professional musician/songwriter and happily added the ukulele to her arsenal of instruments. She served as Musical Director for special events with the Academy of Country Music for years and formed her own production company Lion & Frog Productions to release many recordings of original music; for adults, children and even dogs and cats! Teaching is also one of her passions, and she maintains a roster of children and adult students.
She has been honored to become an official OHANA artist in recent years and proudly plays their incredible ukuleles both live and in the studio.
Lisa is also beyond grateful to perform and record solo as well with her duo WEBB-TIGERT DUO and the well-versed ukulele-fronted 5-piece band BOB'S YOUR UNCLE with Nashville native musician/ arranger and song-writer BOB TIGERT.
Bob Tigert started his career in the music business writing, playing, producing and doing Live Sound as the House Engineer at the world-renowned Exit/In (Nashville, TN), and then touring across Canada and the USA doing mixing for arenas, concert halls, and festivals. In 1987, he founded a video production company that eventually won over 70 national/international awards, and took him to 60+ countries on 4 continents.
Bob returned to music on a semi-professional basis, playing bass and guitar in several bluegrass
bands and producing both albums and single projects… one of which introduced him to the power and versatility of the ukulele, when he was asked to play on a recording session.
Today, Tigert is half of a remarkable ukulele duo with Lisa Webb, who have played festivals, one-
nighter concert tours, and multiple radio and television appearances across the USA, as well as Europe and Mexico and released 4 CD projects (as of 2026), of mostly
of cool original material, but also showcasing innovative arrangements of rock’n’roll, country, jazz and kickin’ gospel favorites.
Tigert’s much-acclaimed band "Bob’s Your Uncle - Nashville" was formed in 2016 and were described by one NPR radio host as “my favorite new band out of Nashville.”
Ukulele Magazine,
closed a feature article about the group (now including Lisa Webb) with, “it’s not just the diverse
musical menu they serve up. It’s the amount of joy emanating from the stage as they play.”
His personal CD project, "BT SOLO - Live Internet Performances Recorded 2020-2021," was
glowingly reviewed with such comments as, "Tigert's playing on his various Lanikai ukuleles is
bold and assertive; and there's variation a'plenty in his strumming and fingerpicking technique.
The man can play!"
His teaching workshops are based upon his "Plays Well With Others" concept which explains
how to re-think the disciplines of Preparation, Practice and Performance as integrated parts of a
musician's betterment.
Bob Tigert is a Sponsored Artist of Lanikai Ukuleles.
