“Forget everything you know about the ukulele — there, that was easy — and go do a quick Google search. The first video that pops up won't be some grainy clip of Tiny Tim but a performance by a hair-gelled 34-year-old Hawaiian named Jake Shimabukuro…” (Time Magazine). Eight million hits and counting, this YouTube phenomenon has taken the music world by storm, performing with artists from Jimmy Buffett to Yo-Yo Ma. Listen, delighted and amazed, as he draws an incredible range of sound from the four-stringed traditional Hawaiian instrument. Uke can’t believe your ears!
