JAKE SHIMABUKURO

Jake Shimabukuro brings his boundary-pushing ukulele artistry to the Birchmere. A virtuoso from Honolulu, Hawai‘i, Shimabukuro has expanded the instrument’s possibilities by combining jazz, rock, classical, blues, folk, and traditional Hawaiian influences in highly expressive performances.

His international profile grew after his acclaimed rendition of George Harrison’s “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” reached audiences around the world. He has since collaborated with artists including Bette Midler, Yo-Yo Ma, Jimmy Buffett, Ziggy Marley, and Mick Fleetwood, and has performed at venues such as the Sydney Opera House, the Hollywood Bowl, and the Kennedy Center. The page also notes his work in music education and community outreach, as well as his upcoming album *Pop Experience*, listed as releasing on 7/10.
