"What the world needs now is Ukelele. You know, this is the underdog of all instruments and I always believed that it is the instrument of peace because if everyone played the Ukulele this world would be a much happier place."

Georgia Tech 20th
anniversary
season continues with
“the
most widely heard ukulele player alive today,” (Fretboard Journal)
Jake
Shimabukuro
on
Saturday March 31 at 8 p.m. Shimabukuro will perform
tracks from his latest album, Peace
Love Ukulele.
In
the hands of Jake Shimabukuro, the traditional Hawaiian ukulele of
four strings and two octaves is stretched and molded into a complex
and bold new musical force. On Peace
Love Ukulele,
which
debuted at the top of the Billboard World Album Chart, Shimabukuro
mixes jazz, rock, classical, traditional Hawaiian music and folk,
creating a sound that’s both technically masterful and emotionally
powerful. His career skyrocketed when a YouTube clip of him
performing “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” in Central Park went
viral. The video now has close to 10 million views.
In
the years since the clip aired, Shimabukuro has performed with Bela
Fleck and the Flecktones, Bette Midler, Yo-Yo Ma, Cyndi Lauper, Ziggy
Marley, Levon Helm, Marcus Miller, Stanley Clarke, Les Paul, Dave
Koz, Chris Botti and Jimmy Buffett. He’s performed on “Jimmy
Kimmel Live!,” “The Late Show with Conan O’Brien,” “The
Today Show” and “Last Call with Carson Daly.” Shimabukuro was a
featured artist on NPR’s “Weekend Edition” and Rolling Stone
Live, and he recently received a cameo in the Adam Sandler movie
“Just Go with It,” where he also recorded a few songs for the
soundtrack.
For
Jake Shimabukuro, life has always centered on the ukulele. The New
York Times recently noted his “buoyant musicianship” and “brisk
proficiency,” adding, “the innovation in his style stems from an
embrace of restrictions: the ukulele has only four strings and a
limited range. He compensates with an adaptable combination of
rhythmic strumming, classical-style finger-picking and fretboard
tapping.” Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam, who recently released his own
album of ukulele songs,comments: “Jake is taking the instrument to
a place that I can’t see anybody else catching up with him.”
