Over the past two decades, Jake has proved that there isn’t a style of music that he can’t play. While versatility for any musician is impressive, what’s remarkable about Jake’s transcendent skills is how he explores his seemingly limitless vocabulary – whether it’s jazz, rock, blues, bluegrass, folk or even classical – on perhaps the unlikeliest of instruments: the ‘ukulele. Responding to the urgent calls of his fervent imagination, Jake has taken the ‘ukulele to points previously thought impossible, and in the process he’s reinvented the applications for this tiny, heretofore underappreciated four - string instrument, causing many to call him “the Jimi Hendrix of the ‘ukulele.”

The Hapa Holiday Extravaganza is back to celebrate the holidays in true island style! This HapaSymphony tradition embraces the spirit of the season with performances by Natalie Ai Kamauʻu, sing-alongs, seasonal favorites, and special guest appearances. Under the direction of Music and Artistic Director Dane Lam, bring the whole family for a memorable symphonic holiday night!
