Fresh off a national tour with Jimmy Buffett and back in Raleigh by popular demand, Hawaii’s ukulele sensation Jake Shimabukuro returns to Fletcher Theater for what is sure to be another awe-inspiring, jaw-dropping performance. Renowned for lightning-fast fingers and revolutionary playing techniques, Jake views the ukulele as an untapped source of music with unlimited potential. Playing jazz, blues, funk, classical, bluegrass, folk, flamenco, and rock, Jake’s mission is to show everyone that the ukulele is capable of so much more than only the traditional Hawaiian music many associate with it.
