Want to give a big thanks to all of the BBc (BoomBox Community) who made it out this past weekend. The shows were energy-packed in Columbus, Bloomington and Louisville. Thanks for the awesome support!
Festival season is upon us...for all of you who can't take the time off or don't have the funds to make it to this year's music festivals, we've added a few club dates surrounding our festival stops in July! Check out our calender for more details. And don't forget, you can customize your own BoomBox gear on the Merch page on this site.
Hey Midwest, BoomBox is coming your way! The party starts Thursday
night at the Bluebird in Bloomington, Indiana. All you Indiana fans, we're granting your wishes! Then, we're excited to be playing the
"Official Ohio Hempfest Pre-Party" at Newport Music Hall in Columbus
Friday night. Then on Saturday we wrap up the
run in Louisville, Kentucky, at The Hideaway Saloon! Come on out and
dance!
We have received a grip of emails, messages and posts regarding
several upcoming shows minimum age requirements. Although we try to do
our best in posting the most accurate information, often times venues
that are All Ages for one show may be 18+ or 21+ for another. That
said, we recommend in all cases that you both review the BoomBox
calendar as well as call the venue box office and ask about the minimum
age requirements for that specific BoomBox show. Additionally, please
know we are always doing our best to incorporate more shows that are
All Ages for the younger BB fans. Please note that the Friday, April 17th show at Subterranean in Chicago, IL is a 17+ show and NOT 21+ as previously noted on the calendar.

BoomBox is Producer/Engineer/DJ/Drummer Russ Randolph and Producer/DJ/Vocalist/Guitarist Zion Rock Godchaux. This pair of dynamic artists uses their rich musical history and their vision of music and popular culture to deliver a style of music distinctly different from anything heard or seen in music today. This signature sound and show brings live music to a new, elevated level. BoomBox evolved through the common visualization of two forward-thinking artists from diverse musical backgrounds. Raised by supportive and musically inclined parents, both Godchaux and Randolph had an obsession with music at very young ages. Godchaux, who grew up with deeply embedded rock and roll roots, began playing drums at the age of two, and played guitar and wrote his own songs as a teen. During the 90s, Godchaux was a well-received touring DJ based out of the San Francisco area. Randolph began as a young drummer, but it’s what was happening behind the scenes that attracted him most. As much producers as they are musicians, it is Randolph’s understanding of soundscape and Godchaux’s knack for songwriting that keeps BoomBox resonating at higher levels.
