Shimabukuro’s performances include singing and ukulele music, combining elements of jazz, funk, rock, bluegrass and folk into his compositions. An internationally-known, award-winning artist, he believes there is a connection between music and health.
“We could all use a little more music in our lives,” Shimabukuro said in a video promoting the concert. “AARP studies have shown that music can help to reduce stress, boost mood and inspire movement. Music can also encourage social interaction through activities like singing, dancing and performing together.”
