Jim Boggia Has a Ukulele and He’s Learned How to Make It Talk

Springsteen UkuleleSinger-songwriter Jim Boggia has three studio albums and several recordings of his own, and he has worked with many other artists during his music career over the last few decades. But currently, he is focusing on the songs of Bruce Springsteen, reinterpreting the Boss’s songs on his ukulele.

After putting his version of “Thunder Road” on YouTube and receiving positive responses, Boggia decided to create a complete show of Springsteen’s music. So currently he is bringing his ukulele and voice to “Bruce Off Broadway” as a tribute to Springsteen’s music.

There are a lot of covers of Springsteen’s songs out there. But Boggia’s wonderful voice and skill at playing the ukulele make the classic Springsteen songs sound new and refreshing. Watch his interpretation of “Thunder Road” below.

NJArts has described Boggia as a “dynamic performer” who does different things with the ukulele at his Springsteen tribute. For more on Boggia’s “Bruce Off Broadway” shows around the country, check out his website.

And, finally, here is Boggia’s moving version of “Born in the U.S.A.”
