Rock | Classical | Hawaiian | Flamenco
Taimane makes her Chicago debut at Old Town School with her virtuosic ukulele easily taking on rock, classical, flamenco, and Hawaiian. A spirited night of captivating music and cultural connection awaits as Taimane takes the stage with her band.
Born and raised in Hawaii of hapa Samoan descent, ukulele virtuoso and songwriter Taimane is renowned for her fierce and inventive style of playing the four-string island staple. She has also garnered great acclaim for her fiery stage prowess, keeping concertgoers on the edge of their seats from her first note until her last.
"I didn't see anyone at the [SXSW] festival doing anything close to what she does on stage. She shreds on ukulele and rocks everything from Beethoven to Led Zeppelin. Somehow she manages to not only rock out but connect the audience with meaningful Hawaiian traditions and dances." - Austin American-Statesman
