Benson Boone uses his sensitive, intimate music to work through his toughest emotions. He wrote the meditative pop songs on his debut EP, Walk Me Home…, as a way of documenting his hopes, fears, and insecurities as a young artist finding his footing in the music industry, and as a person growing into his own in the public eye. “Writing these songs brought me to where I am now,” he says. “It's where I really want to be.” And it’s an enviable position to be in. EP opener “GHOST TOWN,” a piercing breakup ballad, amassed more than 200 million cumulative streams on its way to being certified Gold in the US and becoming Boone’s first entry on the Billboard Hot 100. Heartbreak also shaped the soaring follow-up, “In The Stars,” which proved to be an even bigger hit. Even so, the Monroe, Washington native struggled with the pressures of sudden stardom and global fame. Now with his EP out, Boone is turning his focus to his live set. “Having three songs out and trying to do shows is hard,” he quips. Not that a lack of material has ever slowed him down. Earlier this year, Boone performed for 65,000 screaming fans in Norway. “Everyone was singing the words back to me,” he says. “I touched people's hands and some started crying. It was the craziest moment.” Presented by Metropolis Music This is an 16+ event (ID required)
