Jake Shimabukuro

Jake Shimabukuro has spent decades redefining what a ukulele can do, weaving jazz, rock, classical, blues, and Hawaiian music into performances that feel both technically stunning and deeply personal. His collaborations read like a music legend wishlist - Jimmy Buffett, Yo-Yo Ma, Bette Midler - and he's played stages from the Sydney Opera House to the Kennedy Center. At CMA Theater, you get to hear why he earned comparisons to Jimi Hendrix, all through four strings and an instrument most people underestimate.
