Boombasnap is a five piece band with a solid funk groove, and hip-hop reggae rocking style. They can also pack several other genres into one amazing show after the next. The band is well known for their high energy and improvisational performances.
Another very important ingredient to this formula is the ability to compose and arrange their own original music. They have developed their own unique sound that speaks for itself. But whether it’s your favorite b-side cover or a Boombasnap original, there’s meaning and deep emotion behind every note.
Each member of Boombasnap has played in other well known and successful bands over the years but finally came together after personally scouting one another out from each previous project. After hand picking an all star line up, through good friends, great music and word of mouth, Boombasnap was born.
One of the band’s main beliefs is to be in a constant state of evolution. To always have a goal and to never stop creating or working on accomplishing everything they live for. Positive productivity drives them toward their natural state of being which is passionately creating art.
The members of Boombasnap have an undeniable chemistry together on stage and off that absolutely thrives in a live atmosphere. When people are looking to enjoy feel good music, they go see this band perform and everybody wins.
