In his young career, ukulele wizard Jake Shimabukuro has already redefined the ukulele, been declared a musical “hero” by Rolling Stone, wowed audiences on TV (Jimmy Kimmel, Conan), earned comparisons to Jimi Hendrix, and even played for the Queen of England! Known for his fast and complex finger work, Shimabukuro’s unique style combines elements of jazz, blues, funk, rock, bluegrass, classical, folk, and flamenco. Well known in his native Hawaii, his international fame was launched with 12 million views of the YouTube video of his virtuoso rendition of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps” along with the award-winning PBS documentary, “Jake Shimabukuro: Life on Four Strings.” Catch this rising star when he touches down in New Bedford during this 30-city tour!
