Ukulele virtuoso, Jake Shimabukuro, returns to the stage with his brand new ?2014 Uke Nations Tour.? As a follow up to the successful year long, multi-nation ?Grand Ukulele Tour,? Jake is set to take the ukulele to the world and bring people together as one ?Uke Nation.? In the words of Time, ?Forget everything you know about the ukulele? and see Jake as you?ve never seen him before!!!
In his young career, ukulele wizard Jake Shimabukuro has already redefined a heretofore under-the-radar instrument, been declared a musical ?hero? by Rolling Stone, won accolades from the disparate likes of Eddie Vedder, Perez Hilton and Dr. Sanjay Gupta, wowed audiences on TV (Jimmy Kimmel, Conan), earned comparisons to Jimi Hendrix and Miles Davis, and even played in front of the Queen of England. With his new record Grand Ukulele, Shimabukuro?s star may burn even brighter.
