I would love to see him in concert. He's the reason I started playing the uke a few years ago.

Keep an eye on his schedule; he's adding shows all the time. There are three more shows in my range of travel than there were 3 weeks ago....

Besides being so freakin' talented, Jake has one of the sweetest spirits I've ever encountered ... was lucky enough to interview for a piece in our paper ... generous, humble, kind, gracious, full of joy .... he is all of those things and more.

Hope everyone out there on the West Coast takes advantage of Jake's schedule.

Just saw him a couple of weeks ago at a intimate jazz club in Minneapolis. Sat about eight feet from the stage. Absolutely amazing watching his fingers from that close.

Very pleasant man as he took time to talk to nearly every person who attended the show. Seems very genuine in his appreciation for the opportunity Jimmy has given him to play in front of such large crowds.

If you have a chance to see him, I highly recommend it. I thought he put on a fabulous show.

One thing I love about Jake is the way he gets really small and into the ukulele and then, he straightens up to full height again ... makes him look like the cutest, most adorable turtle ... so endearing.

Jake's also on the Sunday bill (along with Jimmy) for the Newport Folk Festival.

The very reason I was planning on attending the Folk Fest, before JB was announced.

Scott and I saw Jake the day after Jimmy's Charlotte concert. It was our 2nd Jake show. We sat about 10 feet away from him. He is an amazing artist-I am always mesmerized by how fast he plays. His show is worth every penny. He stayed after the show and signed autographs, and took pictures with everyone that wanted. The guy in line in front of us refurbishes ukuleles and brought one with him for Jake to sign-not only did he sign it, but he played a few notes on it as well!!!

ETP is right, he gets into his playing and he goes somewhere else, then he finishes the song and he comes back to earth.

Don't miss a chance to see him!!
