Jake Shimabukuro http://jakeshimabukuro.com/home
My picture from June 7th at the Arts Center in Carrboro, North Carolina. Show number two only four years and two days since the last time I saw him at a solo show. I missed Jimmy Buffett in Charlotte to go see this performance and be able to talk to Jake. It was worth it.
Eddy Vetter recently called Jake the best ukelele player on the planet in Rolling Stone. I call him a great performer and a really nice guy. He is selling out venues around the world. I should write a page of stories about him but I don’t need to. Go see him. Buy his music. Enjoy. ‘Nuff said.
“More Ukelele” Coming in October 2012. Produced by Alan Parsons. Yeah . You remember Alan from long ago as in the Alan Parsons Project.
Here is a link to a previous Jake show I attended. It was a 6 hour round trip and a ton of fun.
