BoomBox has a new album on the way called “Filling in the Color.” Singer and songwriter Zion Godchaux described the upcoming release as “more sophisticated and dynamic.” “For the past eight years, we’ve been drawing the outlines,” Godchaux said. “Now we’re taking all the experience and wisdom we’ve gained and attempting to fill in the color.”

and seeing live music are two different things. With BoomBox you get both. BoomBox combines the beats and grooves of producer and DJ Russ Randolph with the guitar playing and vocal stylings of Zion Rock Godchaux. BoomBox will perform two headlining shows at State Bridge Friday and Saturday night. BoomBox originated in Muscle Shoals, Ala., a city with a rich Rock n’ Roll and soul history where Aretha Franklin, Otis Redding, Bob Dylan, the Rolling Stones and numerous others recorded. Godchaux’s own parents are both musicians who performed with the Grateful Dead throughout the ’70s. Acknowledging their musical roots is important, but BoomBox also wants listeners to live in the now. The duo doesn’t create setlists prior to performing, instead letting the mood of the audience dictate the show. “It’s like a conversation,” Godchaux said. “We’re not prophets. We can’t predict what the vibe of the crowd is going to be until we get there. Creating a setlist that afternoon (before the show) doesn’t make sense to us, so we just leave it open.”
