JAKE SHIMABUKURO
http://www.jakeshimabukuro.com/

Though many still have trouble pronouncing his last name and the instrument he plays, Jake Shimabukuro (she-ma-BOO-koo-row) is becoming recognized as one of the world's top ukulele musicians.

Renowned for lightning-fast fingers and revolutionary playing techniques, Jake views the ukulele as an "untapped source of music with unlimited potential". His virtuosity defies label or category. Playing jazz, blues, funk, classical, bluegrass, folk, flamenco, and rock, Jake's mission is to show everyone that the ukulele is capable of so much more than only the traditional Hawaiian music many associate it with.

"...beneath the virtuosic surface of Aram Bedrosian lurks the heart of a budding composer."
--Bass Player Magazine


Aram Bedrosian is a soloist, ensemble player, composer and teacher from Burlingon, Vermont. He is hard at work on a follow-up to his 2008 solo debut album of unaccompanied solo bass guitar pieces which continues to earn international acclaim and a DVD of videos and live performances.

Aram has performed on stages across the U.S. and appeared on dozens of recordings. He is a spokesman for Hartke Sysems and DR Strings and in 2009 received a unique signature bass from world-renowned German luthier Jens Ritter.

In addition, Aram recently conducted an interview for the book "Solo Arrangements for Electric Bass" by Bass Guitar Magazine columnist Stuart Clayton due out this winter.
