Boston Herald article about Jake

[1 CP]

From the Boston Herald, "Shimabukuro shows why he’s ’the Jimi Hendrix of the ukulele’"

Forget whatever image the word ukulele brings to mind. Forget Arthur Godfrey. Don’t think about palm trees. Repress the ghoulish image of Tiny Tim.

Yes, Jake Shimabukuro is from Hawaii, and, yes, he’s played his share of Hawaiian stuff, but this young ukulele virtuoso does it all.

Maybe you’ve seen him on Conan. Or onstage as a member of Jimmy Buffett’s Coral Reefer Band, which performs sold-out shows Thursday and Saturday at the Tweeter Center.
