Korean-American alt-pop musician BoyWithUke mesmerized Roadrunner Boston as part of his Burnout World Tour. Fans of all ages filled the venue, and many donned the star’s signature LED mask. With the release of his new album Burnout, Charley Yang, who releases music under the moniker BoyWithUke, announced this would be his last project using the alter ego, and Boston was ready to celebrate their favorite memories from this era of music. The night began with the electric Ethan Bortnick, whose brother emerged to share that while Bortnick had sadly lost his voice, the show would still go on. Bortnick emerged with energy bursting off the charts, displaying his stellar piano skills and vocals recorded from other live shows. He dove into impressive piano arpeggios, fast-paced ascending runs, and stunning chord progressions. He danced around the stage, captivating the crowd and successfully delivering a creative spectacle that excited everyone for the night ahead despite being unable to sing. 

Soon after, the lights dimmed again, and the venue released thunderous cheers. The electric track “Burn” blasted in the speakers as BoyWithUke jumped onto the stage in a white t-shirt, silver chains, and a matching black work jacket and pants. The singer effortlessly transitioned between high-energy songs where he would scale the stage and more intimate moments where he would perform with a guitar while sitting on a stool. Boston holds a special place in the star’s heart, as he currently lives in the city. He frequently paused between songs to bond with the audience, forming a personal connection with each fan by taking in the moment and waving to everyone on the second level of the venue. His raspy and powerful voice was on full display throughout the night. BoyWithUke crafted a setlist that celebrated fan favorites and deep cuts. Make sure to catch him live before the Burnout World Tour ends later this month. Buy tickets here.
