The 13 original tracks in the new album incorporate calming natural sounds, harmonious with his iconic Ukulele playing. It provides a peaceful and, one would say, meditative\u2002soundtrack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A press release from Jake Shimabukuro&#8217;s management also revealed that he is set for a series of live performances, beginning February 11th at Blue Note Hawaii in Honolulu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Blending masterful technique with emotional depth, the <em>Calm Seas<\/em> acoustic ambient album marks a reflective new chapter in Shimabukuro\u2019s creative journey, one rooted in simplicity, peace, and the quiet strength of connecting nature to the human spirit.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Calm Seas<\/em>&nbsp;features a collection of 13 original compositions, with 12 additional versions for the digital album. Each track is crafted to evoke cinematic landscapes and meditative soundscapes. The project showcases Shimabukuro\u2019s unmistakable ability to push the \u2018ukulele beyond convention, delivering performances that are both technically breathtaking and deeply personal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Listen to <em>Calm Seas<\/em>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe src = \"https:\/\/jakeshimabukuro.lnk.to\/calmseas\" height = \"600px\" width = \"100%\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cCalm Seas&nbsp;<\/em>was an eye-opening and healing project for me. It rekindled my connection and relationship with nature. As a kid, I spent a lot of time outdoors, swimming in the ocean, camping in the mountains. Some of my favorite memories include sleeping on the beach to the sound of the waves, and waking up to the light of the rising sun,\u201d says Shimabukuro.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recorded in Hawai\u2018i,&nbsp;<em>Calm Seas<\/em>&nbsp;features warm acoustic textures, and minimalist arrangements that highlight the raw expressiveness of Shimabukuro\u2019s playing. The record invites listeners to slow down, reflect, and immerse themselves in an expansive musical world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shimabukuro added,<em>\u00a0<\/em>\u201cUsually, when I think of adding the sounds of the ocean, waterfalls, or the sound of native birds to any music score, I write the music first, and later add the background sounds. However, for this project, we recorded nature first and created the music around it. The sound of the birds and the ocean waves served as the leading <a href=\"https:\/\/livemusicblog.com\/what-can-you-do-to-improve-sound-quality-in-any-room\/\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/livemusicblog.com\/what-can-you-do-to-improve-sound-quality-in-any-room\/\">melodic content for each piece<\/a>.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Songs like &#8220;Sounds of Hakalau&#8221; was Shimabukuro\u2019s serene tribute to one of Hawai\u2018i\u2019s most treasured landscapes, the Hakalau Forest National Wildlife Refuge. Blending his signature \u2018ukulele artistry with the calls of critically endangered native Hawaiian bird species found nowhere else in the world, Jake creates an immersive, ambient soundscape that transports listeners to the lush rainforest.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In \u201cThe Passing Storm,\u201d Shimabukuro crafts an immersive sonic journey that rises from quiet unease to cathartic release. What begins as a sparse landscape of resonant \u2018ukulele tones slowly gathers force, layers of texture rolling in like thunder on the horizon. Yet beneath the storm\u2019s power lies reflection; every note feels deliberate, and by the time calm finally returns, you are left with the lingering clarity that follows after the storm.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis project taught me that sometimes we need to let nature lead the pacing of our lives,\u201d says Shimabukuro. \u201cWhen we are able to align ourselves with nature\u2019s key center and rhythmic tempo, we can live more harmoniously with everything around us. I hope listeners feel a sense of peace and connection when they hear this album.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shimabukuro will be back on the road in March 2026, promoting his recent projects.

His most recent projects include the&nbsp;<em>Blues Experience&nbsp;<\/em>album with Mick Fleetwood, a soul-stirring journey through masterful musicianship, capturing the timeless grit and storytelling at the core of blues tradition. And<em>&nbsp;Tis The Season,&nbsp;<\/em>Shimabukuro\u2019s first ever holiday album of festive classics to capture the magic of the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond the stage, Jake is a passionate advocate for music education and community outreach, frequently performing at schools and benefit concerts to inspire the next generation of musicians. Whether playing an intimate solo show or headlining with a full band, Shimabukuro continues to prove that the \u2018ukulele is an instrument of infinite possibilities, one that speaks a universal language of joy, connection, and hope.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-connect-with-jake-shimabukuro\">Connect With Jake Shimabukuro<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ale6zvyab.cc.rs6.net\/tn.jsp?f=0017kzEeei2oISzpWTnzfB-8K186CFVQeiCr6rgplvhIZk2yKINmUhVeiFL_eaQJSXcZ11Hjr43ocgsvKiGUX6XDE6P_arhw5DqDFBA3xUaYqyr1CaKuscTCwNFo0ldNGOkKadUKhjxGJGsQdCbbHddrqNnYRouggrx&amp;c=rzc3m8FOgyRX4JeaDEku6jf4BG9o_HNrmB8PnJA0aMQYhMVriUdC_Q==&amp;ch=Dy1-8wryXlW38VDneaPK4_MSjOLCzhHHpVhvqfPiYWisexdbofYUdQ==\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">WEBSITE<\/a><strong>\u00a0|\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/ale6zvyab.cc.rs6.net\/tn.jsp?f=0017kzEeei2oISzpWTnzfB-8K186CFVQeiCr6rgplvhIZk2yKINmUhVeig0AjAhJu3a6CNgGdOJXzv7ak25FN-4vVElqedG9YkDWmuQSrM0eYhymfgoLjkmUR9guu8TlVXldQc-gHegSXzSte9J-LUKbvXcjeIogP8tUDkmAVu1K_t3A4karpVJ7A==&amp;c=rzc3m8FOgyRX4JeaDEku6jf4BG9o_HNrmB8PnJA0aMQYhMVriUdC_Q==&amp;ch=Dy1-8wryXlW38VDneaPK4_MSjOLCzhHHpVhvqfPiYWisexdbofYUdQ==\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">INSTAGRAM<\/a><strong>\u00a0|\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/ale6zvyab.cc.rs6.net\/tn.jsp?f=0017kzEeei2oISzpWTnzfB-8K186CFVQeiCr6rgplvhIZk2yKINmUhVeoXHGaoJ-knQoBsoo0UPmYAB6SU9lc51U3ebFMktMP3qths9wFJJ878cFf1M-4uHJo2rgedEv4RGrJ9H8OGrPzCBxtP2BWm64YK2SgOZK-7nbH2dukGa0CGGMwkh-p9E4w==&amp;c=rzc3m8FOgyRX4JeaDEku6jf4BG9o_HNrmB8PnJA0aMQYhMVriUdC_Q==&amp;ch=Dy1-8wryXlW38VDneaPK4_MSjOLCzhHHpVhvqfPiYWisexdbofYUdQ==\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">FACEBOOK<\/a><strong>\u00a0|\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/ale6zvyab.cc.rs6.net\/tn.jsp?f=0017kzEeei2oISzpWTnzfB-8K186CFVQeiCr6rgplvhIZk2yKINmUhVeic_4SbKeBocRwgJuZF8q6awXKl8iBvpvIm6kuwh2Dih7Lb2OmPuCP9973ItC97LIMdxiCFczLSnZnX3yH5uIPOvcexUKfhWbrjmY4OJGuV-&amp;c=rzc3m8FOgyRX4JeaDEku6jf4BG9o_HNrmB8PnJA0aMQYhMVriUdC_Q==&amp;ch=Dy1-8wryXlW38VDneaPK4_MSjOLCzhHHpVhvqfPiYWisexdbofYUdQ==\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">X<\/a><strong>\u00a0|\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/ale6zvyab.cc.rs6.net\/tn.jsp?f=0017kzEeei2oISzpWTnzfB-8K186CFVQeiCr6rgplvhIZk2yKINmUhVeic_4SbKeBoc8kdUC0G9arhzjNqKbVKJLYWaLHWcDgmZUG1bxRUvQcoyC13mfcmaiCfHDIkbJ442uNktHJ0v869nZi_FsAhAMCblhVDru0rwmWUrUW3urkI3ur-UhA-77mKWbdv8n761_W8n8is7ksc=&amp;c=rzc3m8FOgyRX4JeaDEku6jf4BG9o_HNrmB8PnJA0aMQYhMVriUdC_Q==&amp;ch=Dy1-8wryXlW38VDneaPK4_MSjOLCzhHHpVhvqfPiYWisexdbofYUdQ==\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">TIKTOK<\/a><strong>\u00a0|\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/ale6zvyab.cc.rs6.net\/tn.jsp?f=0017kzEeei2oISzpWTnzfB-8K186CFVQeiCr6rgplvhIZk2yKINmUhVeic_4SbKeBocDJcd6OfuauV8gxjs-RejY4Ap9O7Zz8wOrGmBTb2yIUa4uexfww4PQsshhf1D0-IZUyNQq8k4hN_CuCKCqYXt4VVZu7VpMSOtgEe_eYfEP3hNwKkyeguvEw==&amp;c=rzc3m8FOgyRX4JeaDEku6jf4BG9o_HNrmB8PnJA0aMQYhMVriUdC_Q==&amp;ch=Dy1-8wryXlW38VDneaPK4_MSjOLCzhHHpVhvqfPiYWisexdbofYUdQ==\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">YOUTUBE<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":668,"featured_media":278547,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"single-two-column.php","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[14032],"tags":[],"department":[14033],"class_list":["post-278544","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-world-music","department-other-genres"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.1 (Yoast SEO v26.8) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Jake Shimabukuro Releases &#039;Calm Seas&#039;
