Jake Shimabakuru in Chicago March 11th

Post by Quiet and Shy »

Jake will be in Chicago on March 11th!

Old Town School of Folk Music
4544 North Lincoln Ave.
Chicago, IL 60625

773-728-6000

From their website: http://www.oldtownschool.org/concerts/e ... o?id=P4063

Saturday, March 11, 2006
7:00 PM & 10:00 PM
American Airlines Concert Hall :: 4544 N Lincoln Ave.

Loudon Wainwright III
with special guest Jake Shimabukuro
$25, $23 Old Town School members, $21 seniors and kids

Loudon Wainwright III makes albums about his most personal experiences, and almost nothing is considered too intimate. Honesty with Wainwright seems to be a compulsion. Yet there are at least two Loudon Wainwrights. If one is the unflinchingly naked autobiographical writer, the other is the comic, red-nosed performer... The London Times

Known for lightning-fast fingers and revolutionary playing techniques, Jake Shimabukuro is a master of the ukulele. The 28-year-old virtuoso shatters musical boundaries.

"[Jake's] crazy flipping fingers provided one show-stopping moment after another... the 28-year-old is advancing the ukulele the way Bela Fleck has advanced the banjo and Chris Thile is advancing the mandolin."
Is anyone interested in going?

I'm about 90% sure I'll make the trip. Who else is in? :D

That would be a great show to see both people. Wainwright is very entertaining and a great actor - was great as Hal Karp on 'Undeclared'
Is it day?

Ooh! Bummer! :-?

I would like to see that show. Hmmmm... I do know the director of the Old Town school...

Eh, pretty unlikely I'd be able to snag tickets though... :-?
