Jake Shimabukuro Concert, Clinton, CT

Wow...this is it. We're finally starting a blog! To get it off to a good start we’re first posting events that we photographed in March. This first series of photographs is of Hawaiian native, Jake Shimabukuro, a ukulele virtuoso who played at Andrews Memorial Town Hall in Clinton, CT, for the George Flynn Classical Concerts. Our good friends Jim and Liz Beloff introduced us to Jake’s work last year, but this was our first time seeing him live. He is simply mind-blowing on his instrument and an awesome performer!!!







Jake after the concert in front of Andrews Memorial Town Hall. After 1 1/2 hours of autograph signing and meeting fans, he was still up for additional photos. He has an incredibly kind and generous spirit and we are so looking forward to seeing him perform again!



For uke enthusiasts, Clinton’s very own Jim and Liz Beloff (center, with family) have been involved in “all things ukulele” for seventeen years! Check out Fleamarket Music for Jim’s songbooks, CDs, DVDs and amazing Flea and Fluke ukes!

This video of Jake's version of George Harrison's While My Guitar Gently Weeps, filmed in Central Park four years ago started it all for him!
