Jake Shimabukuro has carried the sound of the ukulele from the shores of Hawaii to the world’s concert stages. In his hands, the humble “little guitar” sings everything from J.S. Bach to the Beatles. His album Grand Ukulele shows off new sides of the musician and features a number of original songs and reinterpretations. On this week’s Song Travels, Shimabukuro performs “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” and joins host Feinstein for a duet of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah.”
