Exceptional Artists presents "An Evening with Jake Shimabukuro, Ukulele Wizard"
Ukelele wizard Jake Shimabukuro has been declared a "musical “hero” by Rolling Stone, wowed TV audiences (Jimmy Kimmel, Conan), earned comparisons to Jimi Hendrix and Miles Davis, and had his viral video interpretation of George Harrison's "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" rack up more than nine million YouTube views.
He has taken our perception of the four-string two-octave instrument further than anyone ever thought possible. His live concerts have been called an out-of-the-box blend of stunning virtuosity, deep musicality and a natural entertainer's flair.
Tickets are $45 or $30 each plus a $1.50 Historic Preservation Fee. Order your tickets online 24/7 through Smithstix (smithstix.com…), by phone at 801-687-8700 or in person at the Box Office M-F 2-6 p.m
