About this event

Hailed as the “Jimi Hendrix of the ukulele,” Jake Shimabukuro has captivated audiences across the globe with his masterful technique, innovative spirit, and deeply expressive performances that seamlessly blend elements of jazz, rock, classical, blues, folk, and traditional Hawaiian music. Born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii, Shimabukuro began playing the ukulele at age four and quickly developed a unique style that pushed the instrument far beyond its traditional boundaries. Over the course of his career, Shimabukuro has released numerous acclaimed albums, collaborated with artists including Jimmy Buffett, Mick Fleetwood, Ziggy Marley, Bette Midler, and Yo-Yo Ma, and performed everywhere from the Sydney Opera House to the Hollywood Bowl and the Kennedy Center. His most recent projects showcase both his technical command and growing focus on emotional storytelling through music. Beyond the stage, Shimabukuro is a passionate advocate for music education and community outreach, frequently performing at schools and benefit concerts to inspire the next generation of musicians.
