There are two main subjects of this story. BoomBox the band and State Bridge Amphitheatre the venue. Although two completely separate entities, the two fused together for a night just a few days after the fourth of July. When the two members of BoomBox manned their stations on stage, it was as if a surge of electricity ran through the venue. Literally and figuratively. Yes, the crowd was excited but the beautiful intensity of the lights and sound system were catalysts as well.

Listen Up Denver! had the honor of speaking with Barrington Levy, and he gave us his thoughts on where dancehall has come from, and where it is headed.
