Jake Shimabukuro

About this event

Ukulele virtuoso Jake Shimabukuro returns with his Holidays in Hawaii experience, a festive concert blending beloved favorites and vibrant holiday classics, inviting audiences to celebrate the season with joyful melodies and the spirit of aloha. Since gaining prominence in the early 2000s, Shimabukuro has mesmerized audiences with his innovative and dynamic style. Early in his solo career, he became a YouTube sensation with his cover of George Harrison’s “While My Guitar Gently Weeps,” introducing millions to the ukulele’s untapped potential. Since then, Shimabukuro has released numerous acclaimed albums, collaborated with an array of legendary artists—including Bette Midler, Yo-Yo Ma, Jimmy Buffett, Ziggy Marley, and Mick Fleetwood—and performed at some of the world’s most notable venues, such as the Sydney Opera House and the Kennedy Center. He is known for his dazzling technical command of his instrument and his focus on emotional storytelling through music.
