Anyone enjoy this guy's amazing ukulele playing?
His version of While My Guitar Gently Weeps is amazing! 8)

Yeah. I saw him at the Hilton Hawaiian Village while I was there last year.

The airline I took had a coupon for a free cd of his that I could redeem with guest services.

I'm gonna pop that in right now! :D

He is unbelieveable. His version of Bohemian Rapsody is great as well!

Never heard of him, but I'm seeking some of his stuff out now. Thanks for the tip Dan!

Listening now. Some fabulous stuff! While the intense Malmstein-type stuff is impressive, I like the slower lying on the beach stuff. The uke has such an awesome chill-out tone. So Pacific in contrast to the Caribbean reggae island vibe.

I agree. The more mellow songs sound Hawiian. He did a nice cover of "Time After Time" and "In My Life."

I'm glad this popped up again. I was fortunate enough to see him last summer at small venue here. The show was great, and he does a meet and greet after the show.

Did anyone see the cameo appearance in the Jennifer Aniston/Adam Sandler movie "Just go with it" He is in the background playing his ukulele toward the end by the bar scene.
