BOOM! Trio ft. Lahavi coming to cultural center

MORGAN COUNTY

The Madison-Morgan Cultural Center presents BOOM! Trio ft. Lahavi on Saturday, April 4, at the Center’s historic auditorium. 

Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the dynamic show begins at 7:30 p.m. Cost is $35 and $15 for students.

They will offer a free music workshop focused on nontraditional trio formats in a neo-soul music idiom, along with a Q&A in the MMCC auditorium at 3 p.m. All ages welcome.

BOOM Trio ft. Lahavi was formed in 2022 when a group of Atlanta’s busiest musicians decided to create a band that plays funk and soul music with a nod to the freedom of jazz.

The group released its first album in March 2024 and has been touring since.

Composed of saxophonist Omcolisi, drummer Robert Boone, Jr., and hybrid-guitarist Kelly McCarty, the group welcomed renowned vocalist Lavahi as an integral part of the group.

Boom Trio ft. Lahavi formed after the musicians learned they “shared a common vocabulary acquired through growing up on the same music,” their bio states. The group has a “deep love for the outer rim of jazz where funk should inform all that they do.”

Lavahi has been called “more than a singer.”

“She is an instrument with the ensemble, creating conversations in real time with her band.”

Madison-Morgan Cultural Center Performing Arts Coordinator Colin Agnew said the innovative and energetic group is sure to bring a sonic sound to the historic auditorium.

“These are world-class musicians, and Lavahi is a vocalist who brings clean energy to a soulful performance. We are happy and honored to welcome Boom Trio ft. Lahavi to the Madison-Morgan Cultural Center,” Agnew said. 

This performance is sponsored by Handy by Nature. For tickets, contact the Cultural Center at 706-342-4743 or visit https://www.mmcc-arts.org/event-list/boom-trio-ft-lavahi.
