BoomBox combines the talents of singer, songwriter and guitarist, Zion Godchaux and producer-dj, Russ Randolph. BoomBox is created by performing and then recording their live instrumentation and vocals with multi-track sequencing, turntables, and samplers. Sounds emerge as distinct motives transcending into delicate voice and smooth grooves that reach music and dance lovers of all ages.
Formed in late 2003, BoomBox spent most of 2004 in the studio developing both their sound and their unique approach to live performance, which combines beat-driven hypnotic grooves (heavily influenced by electronic dance music, specifically the House genre) with the musical exploration and overall song approach of the Grateful Dead.
BoomBox tours the United States and has performed at such venues as the Crystal Ballroom in Portland, the Showbox in Seattle, the Fox Theater in Boulder, Oregon Country Fair, The Georgia Theatre in Athens, Georgia, Cervantes in Denver, Jupiter in Tuscaloosa, the Variety Playhouse in Atlanta, the Electric Factory in Philadelphia, Nelson Ledges Quarry Park (Grateful Fest) in Ohio, the Neighborhood Theater in Charlotte, the Mercy Lounge in Nashville, along with many other clubs and festivals. BoomBox has shared the bill with bands such as Keller Williams, Particle, Dark Star Orchestra, Rusted Root, Brothers Past, Steve Kimmock, Airto, Carlos Jones, among others. |
