Jake Shimabukuro is a ukulele virtuoso known for his complex finger work.
When they mention "complex" they really really mean it. We decided to attend the concert and see how a solo ukulele concert sounds like!
He played a lot of tracks from his recent album "Peace Love Ukulele" including "143", "Boy Meets Girl", "Go For Broke" (awesome track by the way), "Trapped", "Five Dollars Unleaded" and believe it or not "Bohemian Rhapsody".
He also played a song that is called "Blue Roses Falling" and was the most amazing track I feel. He told am story behind each of the tracks he played and quite honestly I think he has a good voice as an RJ :)
Here is a picture from the concert (not that good considering it was from phone camera):
I have a couple of more concerts to go to next month including concerts of great musicians like Bela Fleck, Zakir Hussain, Edgar Meyer and Amjad Ali Khan (with his sons Amaan and Ayaan Ali Khan) and can't wait to attend and enjoy them :)
