Broken Back

Broken Back at La Rayonne

We are thrilled to welcome Broken Back to La Rayonne, where our stage is built for artists who blur lines between pop warmth and electronic finesse. From the moment his agile guitar patterns start looping and that unmistakable falsetto glides across the room, our hall’s intimate acoustics bring his distinctive blend of indie folk and dance rhythm right up close to the audience. Many first discovered him through the shimmering uplift of Happiest Man on Earth and the tender pulse of Halcyon Birds, followed by a wave of festival-ready anthems and collaborations. At La Rayonne, we champion artists who transform live performance into a shared moment; Broken Back does exactly that, balancing the energy of a club set with the confessional feel of a songwriter’s night. Expect the taut grooves and breezy melodies that have carried him from early viral buzz to a fully matured stage presence, fine-tuned for rooms like ours where every dynamic shift and percussive handclap translates directly to the crowd.

Recent artistic highlights and songs you might hear

As a venue dedicated to the present tense of music, we are proud to host an artist whose recent work continues to travel and evolve. Broken Back has kept the momentum with singles and live versions that showcase both his rhythmic instincts and his lyrical lightness, pairing crisp electronic contours with an acoustic backbone. Recent favorites such as Wonders (with Klingande), Breathe Slow, Young Love, One by One, and Away From Home have extended his palette while preserving the bright, windswept signature that first won over listeners. Onstage, those titles become living pieces: guitar loops stack into polyrhythms, kick patterns nudge the tempo forward, and harmonies arrive in glowing layers. Our production team at La Rayonne is preparing a sound design that lifts his upper-register vocals without sacrificing the pulse underneath, so that songs move with the same streaming-era sheen fans know but carry the raw human presence that only a concert can offer. Whether it’s the sunlit sway of Breathe Slow or the widescreen chorus of Young Love, his set here will lean into immediacy and movement, a perfect fit for our room’s clarity and warmth.

From our vantage point inside La Rayonne, we see how Broken Back’s live craft has deepened: arrangements pivot from hushed intimacy to communal sing-alongs in an instant, and the show’s arc—often threading early landmarks like Better Run into newer cuts—feels both curated and spontaneous. The momentum of Riva (Restart the Game) and the ringing lift of One by One are natural flashpoints for the floor, while the storytelling nuance of Halcyon Birds pulls the crowd into a quieter, shared breath before the beat returns. We’ve shaped the stage to emphasize that duality: a clean visual line for his looping rig and guitars, room for percussive interplay, and lighting that follows the music’s tidal build rather than competing with it. For those joining us at La Rayonne, anticipate a night that rewards both close listening and full-body movement—an artist in dialogue with a space designed for clarity, presence, and joy. Our team loves nights like this, when an unmistakable voice and a responsive audience meet in a hall that lets songs travel—pure, detailed, and alive—exactly the way they were meant to be heard.
