About

Electronic rock duo BoomBox, consisting of brothers Zion Rock Godchaux and Kinsman MacKay bring heavy organic grooves and soulful beats that penetrate through the dancefloor, and on to all facets of the human experience

Founded in Muscle Shoals, AL in 2004 by singer, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Zion Rock Godchaux, BoomBox has grown and evolved alongside loyal fans across the globe. At the same time, the San Francisco Bay Area native stays true to the vibrations that have been moving bodies on the dancefloor since the beginning.

BoomBox has a signature type of groove rooted in a back-beat driven style, wrapped around smooth vocals and original lyrics. BoomBox songs also pull from a wide range of genres to cultivate a fusion of music that appeals to a broad audience. “The sound is about pulling from anything that you’d hear coming out of a boombox, and distilling into a distinctive style,” explains Godchaux. It’s this formula that gives BoomBox the unique ability to connect with any crowd regardless of age or origin.

“There’s a special kind of chemistry between two brothers playing music together,” says Godchaux. BoomBox shows are characterized by a mixture of drum machines and live-mixed computer beats laid down by Mackay, which create the foundation for Godchaux’s electric guitar riffs and soulful vocals to layer on top of.

BoomBox debuted their live horn section deemed “The BackBeat Brass” in the fall of 2019 to great reception. “It’s like these songs are my children that I’ve been raising for the past 15 years, and with the addition of the horns it feels like seeing them again for the very first time” says Godchaux. Led by trumpet artist Nic Chaffee and Saxophonist Robbie Covacevich, the BackBeat Brass will be featured on select shows moving forward. The two bring a classic live horn sound filtered through an array of psychedelic effects and elements that exquisitely integrates with the music that BoomBox fans know and love.

In addition to touring with their live sets, the duo can also be found dropping down and dirty DJ sets at special club and festival appearances. Regardless of which form of BoomBox you may encounter, be prepared to be getting down like there’s no tomorrow.

    Both bands were on point...

    by BuddMonkey on 8/16/11The National - Richmond

    I took my 10 year old son to see BoomBox for the second time at this venue.. I never expected to be so impressed with the openning act The Silo Effect, because usually the opener is just to fill a time slot .. But The Silo Effect really blew me away with a great electronic sound mixed with live instrumnts and a few vocals.. I cant wait to check them out again... When BoomBox came on they just kept the energy going full force the rest of the night... Great sound and real pretty lights.. They did a lot of their classics mixed with a few tracks I havent heard before... Overall the music was awesome all night, the crowd was just as awesome, and the venue staff were on point as well... I mean there arent too many venues I can take my kid and feel safe and have a good time as well...

    Boombox up close

    by ColtMarshall17 on 4/4/118x10 - Baltimore

    I love the 8x10. One of the best up close and personal venues in the DC Baltimore area. I've seen boombox a couple of times and this was definitely my favorite show. They might have been lacking the drummer, but the show was definitely amazing!

    It was awesome to see so many people having such a great time! everyone was getting down! I wish that Boombox can out to the stage a little earlier so I could have seen the whole show. Also, I felt the mic for the vocals should have been turned up a little more.

    BOOMBOX Dance Party

    by bennyboy214 on 2/28/11Bluebird Theater - Denver

    Saw the last night of an 8 night Boombox run @ the Denver Bluebird. As always Boombox had the entire crowd bouncing. I've seen these guys a couple times before and this show blew the other ones away!

    by Anonymous on 2/26/11Bluebird Theater - Denver

    an epic concert. They played for a long time, wish they could have had an encore. The beats were amazing, his outfit was great, it was the perfect mellow yet also upbeat concert.

    Sub Swara is where it's at!!!!!!!!!!

    by huntress1019 on 2/26/11Bluebird Theater - Denver

    It was a great show but the energy that sub swara brought was so amazing that for boombox to follow that was a bit of a disappointment. Don't get me wrong, I truly like boombox, but after sub swara it was hard to get into.
