ONE SHOW ONLY! at The Governor's Academy
Jake is back! A Firehouse favorite for five years! Though many still have trouble pronouncing his last name and the instrument he plays, Jake Shimabukuro (she-ma-BOO-koo- row) is becoming recognized as one of the world’s top ukulele (oo-koo-LAY-lay) musicians.
Renowned for lightning-fast fingers and revolutionary playing techniques, Jake views the ukulele as an “untapped source of music with unlimited potential.” His virtuosity defies label or category. Playing jazz, blues, funk, classical, bluegrass, folk, flamenco, and rock, Jake’s mission is to show everyone that the ukulele is capable of so much more than only the traditional Hawaiian music many associate it.
Recognized as a virtuoso not only by his audience, but also by fellow musicians and producers as well, Jake has had the opportunity to perform with and/or open for Diana Krall, Bobby McFerrin, John Hiatt, Victor Wooten, Les Paul, Stephen Bishop, John Craven, Hot Buttered Rum, Honolulu Symphony, Mista D of Nashville’s MuzikMafia, and more.
Tickets on sale now. To be able to offer this amazing performance to greater numbers of patrons, Jake will appear this year at the Performing Arts Center at The Governor's Academy. Order your tickets early to ensure you can join us. One performance ONLY!
This event is presented by the Firehouse and performed at the Performing Arts Center, The Governor's Academy, One Elm Street, Byfield, MA.
$28 Adults • $26 Members/Students/Seniors

Ilo Ferreira
Ilo hails from Cape Verde, the Portuguese archipelago off the coast of West Africa. A vacationing Jimmy Buffet and his music friends (MTV founder Tom Freston and Island Records founder Chris Blackwell) were so taken with his talent after hearing him in CV that Buffet brought Ilo across all the many miles and Ilo has been opening for him ever since.
