Hawaiian ukulele virtuoso Jake Shimabukuro has been shocking audiences for almost two decades with his speed, skill, and complexity on the infamous instrument. He’s won tons of awards as a result of his one-of-a-kind approach to jazz-funk ukulele and performed at several TED conferences, where he shared his intentions for revolutionizing the stereotypical image of grass skirts and hula dancing that a uke might conjure. With ten solo records and two film scores released in a little over ten years, it’s clear that Shimabukuro still has a lot more love to give through his music. Lucky for New Yorkers, he’s heading to the Highline Ballroom on Wednesday, April 13th, for an 8 PM show teeming with genre-weaving performances and an overall show-stopping spectacle.
