Jake Shimabukuro
September 6 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
By now, if you know the `ukulele, you might know the name, the innovator who is Jake Shimabukuro.
He has captivated audiences around the world with his unique and dynamic style. With his mother as his first teacher of the instrument, Jake embraced a deep love and respect for the `ukulele and has explored new and unexpected ways to push the boundaries of what was possible on the humble four-strings. Each album has showcased his mastery of the instrument and his ability to weave together diverse genres to create a cohesive and captivating musical experience.
Enter his newest, and most personal album yet. “Grateful” is a coming home for Jake. With a literal who’s who of Hawai`i-based musicians, this collection of songs is performed live, in-studio with Jake’s friends, contemporaries, mentors, and heroes – all kanikapila-style in a return to his roots. “Grateful” is the follow-up to his critically acclaimed duets album with artists ranging from Willie Nelson, Ziggy Marley and Bette Midler to Jimmy Buffett, Jack Johnson and Kenny Loggins.
