Just saw Jake live in Melbourne, Australia

We saw him in Maui a few weeks ago. That show motivated me to buy my first uke, a Pono, when we got home. I think all uke makers should give Jake a small cut of their sales. He is like a one man Super Bowl ad.

Great player and is maturing as a musician. Not just a lot of technique. He's an even nicer guy. I have spent a sigificant amount of time in Hawaii over the last 20-25 years. My wife grew up in Honolulu.I have never had a chance to see him while there. I live in Conn. and have seen him 3 times back here in the northeast.

He's coming to Buffalo, NY on the 20th of this month. I cannot wait! I'm glad you enjoyed his performance so much, and kudos on getting your uke signed. I never thought of doing that.....hmm....

Hi Lexxy I too got to see the great Jake in Melb'n' and just loved every moment. You forgot to mention Bohemian Rhapsody as one of the songs he played��. Getting to meet Jake after the show was pretty special and he certainly comes across like a very humble nice guy. His brilliance will be forever etched in my mind and I will definately go and see Jake play anytime I can. Wish I had taken my uke but there is always next time.
