Ukulele virtuoso and composer, Jake Shimabukuro, will perform on Sunday, October 18 in Helzberg Hall.  Ticket prices range from $21 to $59.

Ukulele master Jake Shimabukuro has taken the four-string, two-octave instrument to places no one has gone before, performing awesome music that ranges from jazz, blues, and rock to bluegrass, classical, and folk. His live concerts are an out-of-the-box blend of stunning virtuosity, deep musicality and a natural entertainer’s flair. Shimabukuro got his start at age four, when his mother gave him his first ukulele lesson. Fascinated by the instrument, he eventually began playing regularly at a local café, where his talent and reputation blossomed. Fast-forward several years and Shimabukuro now has his own record label, and tours extensively in the U.S. and Japan. Shimabukuro has completely rewritten the book on the possibilities of the ukulele — and is adding new chapters with every CD he records.
