Jake Shimabukuro, Tracy Bonham, TobyMac among weekend’s best bets

Here are three shows worth checking out this weekend in the Bay Area:

Jake Shimabukuro

You know you are doing something right when you are a musician and people routinely compare you to one of the greatest artists of all time. So, yeah, we’d definitely say that Jake Shimabukuro — widely known as  “the Jimi Hendrix of the ukulele” — is definitely worth checking out when he performs Nov. 21-24 at the SFJAZZ Center in San Francisco. Showtime is 7:30 p.m. Nov. 21-23 and 3 p.m. Nov. 24 and tickets start at $35, sfjazz.org.

 

Tracy Bonham

The Grammy-nominated indie music act has something cool going on at the Catherine Clark Gallery in San Francisco. The “Mother Mother” singer — who is set to release a new album in 2025 — will be performing an hour-long set at the intimate venue with bassist Rene Hart, violinist Ani Bukujian and cellist Saul Richmond-Rakerd as well as participating in a conversation with acclaimed artist Julie Heffernan, who currently is the focus of a painting exhibition at the gallery.  Showtime is 8:30 p.m. and tickets are $100, cclarkgallery.com.

TobyMac

Grammy-winning vocalist TobyMac, whose best-known numbers include “Gone,” “Made to Love” and “Lose My Soul,” headlines a big Christian music show on Nov. 23 at Oakland Arena. The other two incredibly popular acts on the bill are MercyMe and Zach Williams. Showtime is 7 p.m. and tickets start at $31, awakeningevents.com.
