Jake Shimabukuro’s performances include singing and ukulele music, combining elements of Jazz, Funk, Rock, Bluegrass, and Folk into his compositions. An internationally known award-winning artist, Jake believes there is a connection between music and health.
“We could all use a little more music in our lives,” Shimabukuro said in a video promoting the concert. “AARP studies have shown that music can help to reduce stress, boost mood and inspire movement. Music can also encourage social interaction through activities like singing, dancing and performing together.”
