Jake Shimabukuro

Young wizard Jake Shimabukuro has almost singlehandedly revived the popularity of the ukulele, daring us to take it seriously as a versatile concert instrument. In his short career to date, he’s already been declared a musical “hero” by Rolling Stone magazine, won accolades from artists and fans of classical, jazz, country and rock music alike, wowed audiences on TV, earned comparisons to Jimi Hendrix and Miles Davis and even performed for the Queen of England.
