Description: Wielding an instrument often thought of as a "toy," Shimabukuro evokes an awe-inspiring range of sounds and styles, from island lullabies to rock and jazz. This 33-year old Hawaiian ukulele virtuoso has toured with Jimmy Buffett and Bette Midler and played for Queen Elizabeth.
Performing in Louisville in support of his new release, Peace, Love, Ukulele <http://www.amazon.com/Peace-Love-Ukulele-Jake-Shimabukuro/dp/B00477HOUG/ref=ntt_mus_ep_dpt_1> , Jake says "the ukulele is an instrument of peace. If everyone played the ukulele, the world would be a better place."
Post-show jam! Join us after the show in The Kentucky Center Bar/East Room for jamming in the aloha spirit by local uke enthusiasts. Simply bring your instrument and coat-check it during the show.

Alan's added note: I'll bring some sheet music with chords to share during the uke jam. I encourage others to do likewise. Make sure the font is large and bring plenty of copies to share. See you there!
