SUMMARY:Jake Shimabukuro
DESCRIPTION:Music is a gift\, and the ability to play it is a blessing. Be grateful for both. – Anonymous \nWalking up the creaky wooden steps\, there are what seems like hundreds of slippers all around the front door. Soft music floats through the air\, inviting me to the back yard. Aunties and Uncles fill every lawn chair and the keiki run around in the freshly cut grass. There’s a warm breeze blowing and at least a dozen friends strum along\, kanikapila style\, to a tune we all know and everyone sings the words to. These are the songs of my life. I am home. And I am grateful. \nHe has captivated audiences around the world with his unique and dynamic style. With his mother as his first teacher of the instrument\, Jake embraced a deep love and respect for the `ukulele and has explored new and unexpected ways to push the boundaries of what was possible on the humble four-strings. Each album has showcased his mastery of the instrument and his ability to weave together diverse genres to create a cohesive and captivating musical experience. He is undoubtedly one of the most innovative and exciting musicians of his generation\, changing the perception of the instrument itself and breaking barriers of what kind of music it is capable of. \nEnter his newest\, and most personal album yet. Grateful is a coming home for Jake. With a literal who’s who of Hawai`i based musicians\, this collection of songs is performed live\, in studio with Jake’s friends\, contemporaries\, mentors\, and heroes – all kanikapila style in a return to his roots. Grateful is the follow-up to the critically acclaimed duets album with artists from Willie Nelson\, Ziggy Marley and Bette Midler to Jimmy Buffett\, Jack Johnson and Kenny Loggins. It was these collaborations that inspired him to go back to the beginning and play with the musicians who first inspired him as he was growing up in Hawai`i. Jake shares a connection with each and every artist on this album. \nIn addition to his impeccable musicianship\, Jake is also a gifted storyteller\, weaving together musical narratives that draw listeners in and leave them spellbound. He wanted to bring the power of each artist’s stories to this album.

SUMMARY:Paula Cole
DESCRIPTION:Paula Cole’s eleventh studio album\, “Lo” is devastatingly personal and utterly gorgeous. \nHer first album of original compositions in five years\, “Lo”’s eleven songs\, written entirely by Cole\, navigate her opening to trust again after indelible blows of life. As the first woman to ever be nominated for the Best Producer Grammy in her own right\, Paula Cole returns to the helm of recording as sole producer. On “Lo”\, her loyal bandmates of many years (musicians that are stars unto themselves) join Cole in the studio. “Lo” was recorded entirely live\, featuring full band performances from Jay Bellerose (drums)\, Chris Bruce (guitars)\, Ross Gallagher (upright and electric bass\, backing vocals) and Rich Hinman (pedal steel\, guitars). It was recorded and mixed by nine-time-Grammy-award-winning-engineer\, Mike Piersante\, whose unique sound is the canvas for “Lo.” \nThe autobiographies that are the songs of “Lo”\, are the newest Polaroid snapshots of Cole’s life. The focus is her most recent period of years\, saying goodbye to her friend and early collaborator\, Mark Hutchins\, on “The Replacements & Dinosaur Jr.”\, reflecting on her childhood’s psychological influence in “Follow The Moon”\, her primary relationship\, in which she wrestles inner demons in “Green Eyes Crying”\, lays down her “Invisible Armor” to find hope\, rebirth\, acceptance in “Monday\, Tuesday\, Wednesday\,” and physical intimacy in “take it take it take it”. Cole faces her identity in the spine-chilling\, redemptive “Wildflower”. “Lo” is a window to Paula Cole’s psyche. Continuing her social-justice writing through music\, Cole’s “Lo” reveals songs “Calling All Saviors” (a catchy pop gem)\, and “Letter From A Quarry Miner” (written from a North American quarryman\, to his European family during The Great Depression in 1932.) Cole weaves in the words of W. B. Yeats in “Golden Apples of the Sun ” while honoring Ray Bradbury in “Fahrenheit 451”. The song is a poem\, touching on the concept of the anthropocene and the frightening prospect of erasing history. With her eleventh studio album\, “Lo”\, Cole eloquently weaves the personal with the universal\, the shy with the provocative. She concludes with the uplifting “Flying Home”\, an homage to Max Erhmann’s “Desiderata”. \nFrom whispering poetry in a low alto range\, to opening her throat in primal scream\, Paula Cole’s voice is more commanding than ever\, revealing battle scars\, deep wisdom\, the soulfulness of gospel\, the urgency of rock\, and the sensitivity of folk. Cole plays piano\, Rhodes\, acoustic guitar\, clarinet and sings her artfully arranged background-vocals. She is a poet with a funky groove. \nCole has been a truth-teller\, a provocateur\, a feminist\, a rebel\, and a brilliant autobiographical writer who has pushed for personal honesty and social change. An artful weaver of genre\, she is difficult to categorize – she is simply Paula Cole. From her debut “Harbinger”\, in her androgynous combat boots and sensitive songs\, to the everlasting hits of “This Fire”\, to her genre-busting “Amen” (a neo-soul-touched tour de force) to a vibrant line of independent recordings on her own 675 Records label\, she has released music for over three decades\, recorded and performed with greats such as Peter Gabriel\, Dolly Parton\, Missy Elliot\, Meshell N’Degeocello\, Melissa Etheridge\, Herbie Hancock\, Sarah McLachlan\, Terri Lyne Carrington\, Emmylou Harris\, Nona Hendrix\, Paul Buchanan of The Blue Nile\, to John Paul White and Jason Isbell. \nShe was an instrumental force behind the historic Lilith Fair. Her songs have been covered by artists from Herbie Hancock and Annie Lennox\, to Lissie\, to HAIM\, sampled by hip hop artists\, and performed by choirs. Paula Cole has pushed buttons and boundaries\, declared truths and followed her own path of iconic vision. \nCole will be on tour in 2024 with concerts surrounding the release of “Lo”.

SUMMARY:Who's Bad Thriller Night '24
DESCRIPTION:Who’s Bad’s power-packed tribute to Michael Jackson has ignited crowds on every continent and can only be described as a jaw-dropping\, musical must-see. \nAs the longest-running Michael Jackson tribute band\, and the only one to predate his untimely passing\, Who’s Bad has sold out nearly 50 venues in the United Kingdom including London’s O2 where the King of Pop was slated to end his career. Over 100 years of collective professional experience and sold-out shows at every major House of Blues\, Colorado’s Bluebird Theatre\, LA’s Gibson Amphitheatre as well as international pavilions such as Ningbo Grand Theatre (China)\, Romania’s Sala Palatalui to Teatro do Bourbon Country (Porto Alegre\, Brazil) tell the story: no corner of the earth is safe from this infectious party production.
