An Evening with Jake Shimabukuro

THIS EVENT IS AT THE ROSE AND ALFRED MINIACI PERFORMING ARTS CENTER, AN AFFILIATED VENUE OF BROWARD CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS ON THE NOVA SOUTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY CAMPUS.

Over the past two decades, Jake Shimabukuro has proven here isn't a style of music that he can't play. While versatility for any musician is impressive, what's remarkable about Shimabukuro's transcendent skills is how he explores his seemingly limitless vocabulary – whether it's jazz, rock, blues, bluegrass, folk or even classical – on perhaps the unlikeliest of instruments: the 'ukulele. The Hawai'i-born virtuoso has taken the 'ukulele to points previously thought impossible, causing many to call him "the Jimi Hendrix of the 'ukulele." Shimabukuro's incredible journey has taken him from local phenom to YouTube sensation, from playing tiny clubs to headlining the world's most prestigious concert venues like the Hollywood Bowl, Lincoln Center and the Sydney Opera House. He's performed on the biggest TV shows and has released a string of award-winning, chart-topping albums.
