The Creation of Boom Lava
Boom Lava was born from the hottest explosive molten roots from within the earth.  As the sound surfaced, it hit a funky cool jazz breeze and chilled on a tropical reggae vibe.  The explosive boom of the lava hitting the ocean created a positive spectacle of music beyond compare.  The sharp hard nature of the new land gave the music an extra edge to remind everyone of forces stronger than ourselves.



Nils Crusberg
Guitar, Saxophone, Vocals
Nils Crusberg was born in the heart of Worcester, MA but found a true connection to Jamaica's spirit of love, music, and reggae on his 1st trip to the island at the height of the "Rasta Renaissance".
He keeps the rocksteady rhythms and leads on guitar, blows saxophone, and puts forth vocal rhymes in his leadership role with Boom Lava. 


Mike Mendoca
Bass and Vocals
Mike has a deep-rooted love for music. He is a fan of acid jazz, dub reggae, downtempo, underground hip hop, classic jazz, afro-beat, and most things in between. And while he loves to listen to Victor Wooten or Les Claypool, he thinks a big part of playing the bass is the simplicity and the control of that low end. He feels that there is much to be appreciated about almost all music, but playing the bass is all about dropping those funk bombs and making booties shake....


Marty Coyle
Percussion
Marty is born and raised on the streets of the 516. One of the original members of the jam crashers "TeamBamm" and long time A.M.er. He blends his beats with his hands giving the music a new depth. Brought up on Dixie Chicken, Stoned Bugs and a Private Dancer. He is a product of his eclectic music background. From Jerry to John (Dead or not), from Cliff to Cleff. From Wu to Bigg, from the King to the Princes. Curtis and the god father. He is always down for the funky reggae skank jams.....or anything else for him to sit in. No really, he's a jam slut... use him. he likes it!


Jeff Drums
Kit Drummer
Jeff has been the playing the drum kit for decades and decades and maybe even more decades which means his credentials are above and beyond the requirements of the listening audience. His skills and solid tempos keep Boom Lava's rhythms on track and add rocket soul to the reggae sounds. He has performed all over New England and who know what's next..... world tour?


Bryan Keys
Keyboard/Trombone
