A viral sensation turned global phenomenon! This award-winning ukulele master pushes the boundaries of what’s possible with four strings. Moving effortlessly between genres, Jake Shimabukuro plays everything from rock to blues to flamenco and has collaborated with musical giants like Yo-Yo Ma, Jimmy Buffett, Mick Fleetwood, and more.
