Younger Brother Bruce Shimabukuro Will Also Perform
Tickets Are Still Available

Hawaii’s ukulele virtuoso, Jake Shimabukuro, will perform live in concert on Monday, June 18, 2012 at the Pacific Beach Hotel’s Grand Ballroom in Waikiki.

“When Jake is home in Hawaii, he often performs at many community type venues and mostly outdoors. There's a lot you can miss with so many distractions around,” said Bruce Shimabukuro, Jake’s younger brother. “In my opinion, as amazing a ukulele player that Jake is already known to be, there's a lot about him that many people in Hawaii have not yet discovered. I believe that this concert will showcase Jake at his finest.
