Buffett sings high praises for uke star joining tour
I can’t wait until when Jake walks out onstage and sees 26,000 screaming people,” Buffett says from Toronto, where he performs tonight.
For the upcoming concerts, Buffett and the Coral Reefers are reworking a Dave Matthews’ song for Shimabukuro to join in.
We’ll feature Jake on a couple songs with the acoustic section, some ensemble stuff with the entire band, then a duet with percussionist Ralph MacDonald,” Buffett said.
Buffett returns to Hawaii in October to finalize plans for his One Particular Harbor restaurant in Waikiki and is considering a concert “in a small Maui venue.”
Plus, “Maybe when Jake goes back to Japan to perform he’ll let me open for him there,” Buffett said. “I would love that.”
