CALENDAR ALERT: Hawaii’s Jake Shimabukuro to Stun the Highline Ballroom November 15


On November 15, “the most widely heard ukulele player alive today,” (Fretboard Journal) Jake Shimabukuro will bring his unforgettable live show to the Highline Ballroom. He will be performing tracks off of his latest album ‘Peace Love Ukulele’ and show why Rolling Stone calls him “one of the hottest axmen of the past few years.”

Shimabukuro has “raised the bar for the ukulele” (Washington Post) & he boasts “buoyant musicianship and brisk proficiency” (New York Times).

His brilliant cover of “Bohemian Rhapsody” was described by Brian May of Queen as “amazing uke playing to be relished,” while Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam said that “Jake is taking the instrument to a place that I can’t see anybody else catching up with him.”
