TUNE-IN: Jake Shimabukuro Brings Ukulele Magic to Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Monday, August 1


On Monday night (August 1), ukulele visionary Jake Shimabukuro will bring his jaw-dropping musical talent to Jimmy Kimmel Live! (ABC). Shimabukuro will perform his ukulele ode to rock & roll “Bring Your Adz.” An exclusive performance of his hypnotic take on “Amazing Grace” will post online.

Rolling Stone recently hailed him as the "best ukulele hero" and Eddie Vedder said that "Jake is taking the instrument to a place that I can't see anybody else catching up with him."

I'm sure you've seen it already, but watch Jake's version of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" which has garnered over eight million views on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=puSkP3uym5k
