At the forefront of today’s ‘ukulele renaissance is Herb Ohta, Jr. Revered by his colleagues as a “musician’s musician,” Herb is the consummate ‘ukulele player. He has left no musical stone unturned on his path to discovering the ‘ukulele. As a youth, Herb was guided by his father, Ohta-san, and inherited his innate sense of musicality. On this foundation, he developed his own unique style. The limitations of this unpretentious instrument are all but forgotten in the hands of his virtuosity. Herb has touched the hearts of thousands through his performances and recordings—every note reiterating his genuine belief that music is played from the… heart.
