An Internet sensation who has drawn comparisons to Jimi Hendrix and Miles Davis, Jake Shimabukuro utilizes his lightning fast fingers and revolutionary playing techniques to transform the ukulele into something well beyond convention or imagination. Yes, the ukulele. In the hands of Shimabukuro, the traditional Hawaiian instrument of four strings and two octaves is stretched and molded into a complex and bold new musical force. Mixing jazz, rock, classical, traditional Hawaiian music, and folk, he reworks modern music in a classic style.
Pre-show activities at 6:45 p.m.
