February 26, ukulele virtuoso and Hawaii-native, Jake Shimabukuro released his new live "best of" collection Live in Japan, his second release on Hitchhike Records/eOne. The two-CD collection features some of Shimabukuro's favorite songs from his 15-year career including a 10-minute classic reworking of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps," which currently has over 14 million views on YouTube.
Recorded in Japan during his 2015 world tour, the collection begins with a nine-minute medley including the War classic "Low Rider," and performances of "Dragon," "Bohemian Rhapsody" and "Blue Roses Falling," to name a few.
The band set also includes several original selections from his most recent studio album, Travels, which debuted at #2 on Billboard's Top World Album Chart in 2015.
2016 is shaping up to be Shimabukuro's biggest of his career.
Beyond the live release, his first in seven years, he is working on a new studio album to be released later this year and will be touring across the United States and around the world.
