He’s travelled for you, now it’s your turn to take a little road trip. Experience the blistering virtuosity of a musical prodigy for yourself when Jake Shimabukuro packs his ukulele and travels to the University of Michigan. Playing and composing on the Hawaiian-sound instrument (originally crafted in Portugal) since age 4, Shimabukuro came to prominence when a video of him playing George Harrison’s “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” went viral on YouTube. Now he’s touring major venues and bringing his mixture of jazz, blues, funk, rock, bluegrass, classical, swing, and flamenco to adoring fans worldwide. He’s only getting better and more prolific, so this is a show you shouldn’t miss.
