Jake Shimabukuro and his four-string uke will rock Norwalk with “a musical style that is energetic to the point of athletic” (USA Today) as part of his latest U.S. Tour. With added instrumentation including multiple ukes and a bassist, this is proving to be Shimabukuro’s most adventurous tour to date. In the words of Eddie Vedder, “Jake is taking the instrument to a place that I can’t see anybody else catching up with.”
In his humble rise to becoming who Rolling Stone calls “one of the hottest axmen of the past few years," Shimabukuro’s “virtuosic chops and tasteful sensibilities" (Billboard) took him from YouTube fame to being an “international sensation” (The Today Show) heralded as the “Jimi Hendrix of the ukulele” (Guitar Player).
