Jake Shimabukuro Tickets

It is impossible to leave a Jake concert without a huge smile on your face.

Shimabukuro gave an amazing performance. He is a dynamic performer and is probably the most accomplished musician alive at the ukelele. Most of the music he played were either original modern jazz-like compositions and a handful were covers of well known pop/rock songs. He did a nice job of introducing the songs in a "storytellers" kind-of way, and it probably was also necessary to rest his hands and wrists (he is an extremely fast player). He was also a very gracious performer and made all in attendance feel welcome. The Birchmere is the perfect venue for Shimabukuro's music and his music is most enjoyable in a small setting.

Excellent show - excellent musician! You want to hear his old stuff but find you like his new stuff! I wish he would have done "Thriller", though.

Ukulele kumu Jack Shimabukuro is even better in person than he is on his albums. It is amazing what he can draw out of his uke. He has a fine and appealing stage presence, too.

We have seen Jake perform before and love him. He was fantastic again. It is just amazing the music he makes. We took our teenagers this time and they loved it. It was a wonderful family evening. Thanks Jake, and keep the music coming. The Leftover Cuties were wonderful as well, that was a nice treat.

Ever the consummate entertainer! Nice blend of rock flair with mellow jazz; to classical....all played on the ukulele.

Jake is a world class musician that could play any string instrument but his love is the ukulele. His hour plus concert was technically brilliant, featured a variety of music including original tunes and covers. He is funny, generous, gracious and not to be missed. He announced that PBS is doing a documentary on him that will premiere at the 30th Annual SF International Asian American Film Festival in March 2012.

A super performance by Jake.......funny; talented, a good storyteller, and he's the Elvis of ukelele's.

I was so surprised by Jake! I honestly bought these tickets for my boyfriend because I knew that he liked him. I bought the tickets for his birthday and we went together. I am beyond happy that we got to see him live! I also accidentally bough front row seats, not knowing the seating configuration and that was ridiculous! The amount of energy and passion that Jake puts in to his music is refreshing and exhilarating! I was smiling the whole time. It was such a pleasure to see someone so truly excited about about his music. He has amazing talent!! I can't wait to see him again!!

I got tickets to Jake's concert on 12/3/11 for myself and my partner who has a particular interest in Ukulele music, we were completely blown away by Jake's ability to create such amazing music in such a small instrument! He is definitively a one of a kind artist. B ut we also had a fantastic surprise listening to the opening band "Leftover Cuties" because they are phenomenal too, the lead singer's voice sounds much like Billy Holiday but with her own twist. We fell in love with her too!

Jake Shimabukuro is an ukelele virtuoso combined with an amicable, youthful, respectful, stage presence. He has impeccable instincts for producing music that is accessible, yet combines the elements of joy, drama and tension. The audience sits spellbound waiting for the next burst of power or beautiful chord progression that takes us along on a journey away from our day-to-day and into a purely musical dimension. If that seems like a lot of lofty hoo-haa, you need to see one of his shows to find out what I mean. Independent verification: I brought two teenagers to this event, one of which is a grumpy, rap and electronica-type guy. Both left the show beaming and almost giddy.

Intimate venue, amazing talent. 20 $ to see probably the best Uke player ever! He takes the Ukulele to realms unimaginable and brings you along with him as he prefaces each song with history and meaning. Then he casually takes time after the show to be in photos, sign cd's, ukuleles. What an incredible and personable dude!

By far the best I have ever seen and I have seen quite a few

A lot more than one can expect from a one-man Uklele show. Very much satisfied.

Never have I been so memsmerized by a man, four strings and ten fingers. Blown away by the myriad of sound from such a simple instrument. Goes to show you, it's not size that matters but talent. Amazing.

Great showmanship and ways to understand what music can be played on a 4 string uke..

It's not very often that you get to see someone who is the best at their trade. Jake is one of the best, probably THE best, ukulele players to ever play. Don't miss it!

Each song better than the previous one. Jake is charming and so incredibly talented. Enthusiastic crowd The venue was terrific except for the lack of a working elevator. I am handicapped and struggled much with the 3 flights of stairs.

Jake Shimabukuro is truly a ukulele virtuoso! Even though the uke only has 4 strings, Jake sounded like a full band.

the most amazing show I have seen in quite some time. Jake is not from this planet. he is gifted, and passionate. Can move from genre to genre without it being corny or showy. He is the true definition of an artist and he brings his audience with him for the ride. Thanks for the ride JAKE!
