JAKE SHIMABUKURO

JAKE SHIMABUKURO returns to the Birchmere for a single-night performance on Sunday, November 8, 2026. Hailed as the “Jimi Hendrix of the ukulele,” Shimabukuro is a virtuoso who has redefined the instrument with a style that fuses jazz, rock, classical, blues, folk, and traditional Hawaiian music. He first gained worldwide fame after his viral rendition of George Harrison’s “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” and has since released numerous acclaimed albums, collaborated with artists such as Bette Midler, Yo-Yo Ma, Jimmy Buffett, Ziggy Marley, and Mick Fleetwood, and performed at venues like the Sydney Opera House and the Hollywood Bowl. His most recent album, *Pop Experience*, was released on July 10, 2026. The evening will showcase his masterful technique and emotionally expressive storytelling, whether playing solo or with a band.
