Jake Shimabukuro

Jake will be joined by bass player, Jackson Waldhoff. Jackson Waldhoff is a bass player from Honolulu, Hawai’i. He grew up in Kyoto, Japan; moved to Hawai’i in 2010. Waldhoff started playing guitar and bass as a way to make friends while learning English. In 2018, Waldhoff graduated from audio engineering school and worked as an audio engineer with Jake Shimabukuro on several projects, including “Trio,” “Jake & Friends”, and a track for Alan Parsons. Jackson Waldhoff and Jake Shimabukuro started touring together in 2018, and perform concerts around the world. VIP includes: 4 admission tickets, reserved table in a great location, first round of drinks, and table service for the evening.

Over the past two decades, Jake Shimabukuro has proven here isn't a style of music that he can't play. While versatility for any musician is impressive, what's remarkable about Shimabukuro's transcendent skills is how he explores his seemingly limitless vocabulary, whether it's jazz, rock, blues, bluegrass, folk or even classical, on perhaps the unlikeliest of instruments: the 'ukulele. The Hawai'i-born virtuoso has taken the 'ukulele to points previously thought impossible, causing many to call him "the Jimi Hendrix of the 'ukulele." Shimabukuro's incredible journey has taken him from local phenom to YouTube sensation, from playing tiny clubs to headlining the world's most prestigious concert venues like the Hollywood Bowl, Lincoln Center and the Sydney Opera House. He's performed on the biggest TV shows and has released a string of award-winning, chart topping albums. Just recently, he was nominated by President Joe Biden to serve as a Member for the National Council on the Art
