Jake Shimabukuro

City Winery Pittsburgh presents Jake Shimabukuro live on Thursday, April 23rd, at 7:30 PM! Internationally celebrated as one of the most innovative musicians of his generation, Jake Shimabukuro has redefined the ukulele for the modern era with breathtaking technique, fearless creativity, and deeply expressive performances. Often described as the “Jimi Hendrix of the ukulele,” his music fluidly blends jazz, rock, classical, blues, folk, and traditional Hawaiian influences into a sound that feels both adventurous and emotionally resonant.

Born and raised in Honolulu, Jake began playing at just four years old, quickly developing a style that pushed far beyond the instrument’s traditional role. His career reached a global audience after his stunning rendition of George Harrison’s “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” went viral, introducing millions to the ukulele’s boundless possibilities. Since then, he has released numerous acclaimed albums, collaborated with legendary artists, and performed at iconic venues around the world.

Whether delivering a solo performance or sharing stories between songs, Shimabukuro creates an atmosphere that is intimate, joyful, and inspiring. Join us at City Winery Pittsburgh for a night of virtuosic musicianship, heartfelt storytelling, and unforgettable sound, all paired with exceptional wine and dining.
