The Boulder, Colorado based Kailin Yong Peace Project Trio, led by Singaporean violin virtuoso Kailin Yong opened for the ukulele virtuoso from Hawaii. View Kailin Yong’s web site.
We heard about Jake Shimabukuro (she-ma-boo-koo-row) and his ukulele on NPR sometime last year. When we were in Hawaii in January we hoped to see him perform, but of course he was on tour on the mainland. When we heard he was coming to Colorado Springs, we jumped on it. A good thing, too, because it was a sold-out show!
My camera was not too happy with the crummy lighting, but if you want to witness some of his great performances, go to http://jakeshimabukuro.com/video#sfiaaff_30_jake_documentary_trailer
