Taipei Taiwan Concert

Burke returns from Taipei, Taiwan. Burke performs in Linko Stadium to over 8,000 at International Convention! Burke performed set including “Let It All Come Down”, “Sounds of the Ocean” and “Wendy”. Burke’s brother Blake (bass background voice for Wendy on CD) joined him on stage for “Wendy” while background of choreographed cheerleaders kept the crowd hopping! Wakin – Chou, one of Northeast Asia’s most popular singers performed a set of his hits and then Burke performed “Luscious Lips”, and “Best is Yet to Come”. Burke and Wakin joined together for an incredible duet encore set that included “Let It All Come Down” with Burke and Wakin trading verses and adding chorus harmonies that brought the crowd to the stage! Topping off the encore, Burke and Wakin sang “Hound Dog” and “Blue Suede Shoes” which was an incredible climax to great performances. While in Taiwan, Burke also interviewed live on National Public Radio Taiwan (NPRT) which broadcasts in English to a market of over 4 million! Burke made many fans and friends there and hopes to one day return. Photos should be posted this week – check gallery.
