Jake Shimabukuro
"Jake is taking the instrument to a place that I can't see anybody else catching up with." — Eddie VedderIn his still young career, ukulele master Jake Shimabukuro has been the leader in the movement to bring the ukulele to mainstream consciousness. He has been declared a musical "hero" by Rolling Stone, wowed audiences on TV (Jimmy Kimmel Live! and Conan), and has earned comparisons to Jimi Hendrix and Miles Davis. Jake's repertoire includes jazz, blues, rock, bluegrass, classical, and folk — in short, there isn't anything he can't play on the ukulele!
