Jake Shimabukuro

We are thrilled to present ukulele virtuoso Jake Shimabukuro for three special performances.
On Saturday, September 13 only, we are holding our inaugural fundraiser:

Waves of Giving: An Evening of Island
Magic & Luau featuring Jake Shimabukuro.

This special night under the stars will blend exquisite Hawaiian cuisine, complimentary wine and cocktails, and live
contemporary Hawaiian music. Held in an outdoor tent in the Presidio Theatre’s courtyard, you will savor the sounds
of the tiki-themed group APE, experience the grace of traditional hula, live tiki carving, and end the evening with
a soul-stirring concert by international ukulele sensation Jake Shimabukuro inside the Presidio Theatre beginning
at 7:30pm.

All proceeds support the Presidio Theatre’s artistic programming, our new youth and community education initiative launching in 2026, discounted tickets for our Veterans & Military Membership, and to help maintain the historic theatre. Let the rhythm of the islands carry us into a season of giving.

About Jake Shimabukuro – Over a dozen solo albums and his new album with Fleetwood Mac drummer Mick Fleetwood, Shimabukuro has shown a knack for moving effortlessly between genres, sometimes in the same song. Early in his solo career he became a YouTube sensation when his cover of George Harrison’s “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” went viral. Since then, Jake has gone on to play the world’s most venerable venues and collaborated with some of the world’s greatest musicians, including Yo-Yo Ma, Béla Fleck, Jimmy Buffett, Jack Johnson, Bette Midler, Ziggy Marley, Sonny Landreth, Billy Strings, Willie Nelson and Warren Haynes. Shimabukuro has also won his share of awards and, just a few years ago he was nominated by President Joe Biden to serve as a Member for the National Council on the Arts.
