JAKE SHIMABUKURO

In his young career, ukulele wizard Jake Shimabukuro has already redefined a heretoforeunder-the-radar instrument, been declared a musical “hero” by Rolling Stone, won

accolades from the disparate likes of Eddie Vedder, Perez Hilton and Dr. Sanjay Gupta,wowed audiences on TV (Jimmy Kimmel, Conan), earned comparisons to Jimi Hendrix

and Miles Davis, and even played for the Queen of England.

You’ve never heard the ukulele played the Jake Shimabukuro way, and his playing is sureto leave you happily shocked and surprised that such magnificent music can come from

such a tiny instrument.

“Jake is taking the instrument to a place that I can’t see anybody else catching up with.”
