Hawaiian-born Shimabukuro has virtually reinvented the four-string instrument, causing many to call him the “Jimi Hendrix of the ukulele.” Shimabukuro’s virtuosic approach to the ukulele has made him one of the hottest tickets around, topping Billboard charts; headlining the Hollywood Bowl, Lincoln Center, and the Sydney Opera House; playing for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, and appearing on national television numerous times. This star is humble, passionate, and filled with songs to share.
