I agree, It is def not my kind of music either.
but as far as Hendrix goes, Jimi was a singer/songwriter and Jake is known mostly for playing Covers. He also dosen't sing. He is an amazing talent that does absolutely nothing for me personally. Certainly not a Hendrix in my book.

Jake has written tons of songs. And most of them are really pretty cool.

Ukulele orchestra of Great Britain !

just remember all along the watch tower was written by bob dylan who in my opinion is the best american song writer of out time.

Sarah Maisel is the rising star player in my book. She's got the whole package...plays wonderfully, sings great, and delivers the goods on stage.

I went to the Ukelele fest of GB a few weeks back and saw Taimane play. I also did a workshop with her. She was awesome. Definitely the highlight despite Craig Chee, Sarah Maisel and Ukulele Uff and Lonesome Dave play.

Ryo Natoyama was good as well. Defo one to watch out for in the future. Plays a bit like Jake.

Yup, have to agree with Rick on this one.

For me, Sarah has great musicality and musicianship; entertains as well as plays at a virtuoso level and has a personality that enhances her overall performance. Of course, it helps that her chosen repertoire covers my favourite genre of music

UOGB, definitely.

KoaDependent · Jul 3, 2014

At this very moment, it's Ian Emmerson:

This was truly beautiful. I hadn't heard (of) him before -- lots of videos to watch!

Always amazed when people get sopranos to sing like this.

Brad Bordessa · Jul 28, 2015

Kunia Galdeira. Nobody has ever heard of him, but he's probably the best player on Hawai'i Island. Saw him a couple of weeks ago and what he played blew my socks off. What a touch!

stevepetergal · Jul 29, 2015

George Elmes

fretie · Jul 29, 2015

Corey, Sarah Maisel, Craig Chee, Jake, Willie K....for starters....
