Uke Tunes marks the first release of With Lions' Woody Ranere and Christian Celaya's new venture, WIth Lions Productions. Taking the opportunity to explore even more genres, they decided to delve into the children's music world with the birth of Christian's daughter serving as inspiration. Faced with the task of getting his infant daughter to go to sleep, Celaya picked up his ukulele and began playing and singing. Charmed by the simplicity and musicality of his bandmate’s “lullabies,” Ranere contributed a few of his own. When the folks at Chevrolet heard the results, they knew they’d found the perfect sound to support their new electric car, and With Lions landed the majority of the advertising campaign for the Chevy Volt. "Skip To My Uke" was featured in the Humane Society-Pet Shelter Spot on The Today Show that aired Feb. 13, 2013.
