About Me

JAN VAUGHAN aka "BIG BAM BOOM" SINGER/SONGWRITER TROUBADOUR SOLO ACOUSTIC ENTERTAINER (BEACHBUM) VARIETY is the WORD MOST LISTENERS USE TO DESCRIBE THEIR FAVORITE THING ABOUT AN EVENING SPENT LISTENING TO "BOOM". JIMMY BUFFETT, JERRY JEFF WALKER, STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN,JOHN PRINE, TOBY KEITH, KENNY CHESNEY, NEIL YOUNG, LYLE LOVETT, BOB MARLEY. JIMMY CLIFF, HARRY BELAFONTE, TAJ MAHAL, KEB MO, JOHNNY NASH, WILLIE NELSON, JOHNNY CASH, KENNY LOGGINS, MICHEAL McCLOUD and THE BAREFOOT MON from Grand Cayman BWI are some of "BOOM'S" FAVES, as well as a MIXTURE OF , COUNTRY, BLUES , CARIBBEAN ,CLASSIC ROCK, NOVELTY and FUNNY SONGS to SUIT EVERY TASTE. BOOMs love of performing really shows when he hits the stage. NO BACKING TRACKS OR SEQUENCERS HERE!!!!!.......... BOOM's SOUND is PURE ACOUSTIC. AUDIENCES ENJOY his SMOOTH STYLE with BALLADS an SOULFUL GETTING DOWN with BLUES an R&R. HIS ABILITY to take REQUESTS an INTERACT with AUDIENCES of all AGES, has MADE HIM in DEMAND for a VARIETY OF VENUES, from THE INTIMATE PARTY SETTING to the LARGE CLUBS. His INFAMOUS TOP 10 LISTS, JOKES, POETRY W.O.W.'s (words of wisdom) have been a HOOT !! The AUDIENCE PARTICAPTION NIGHTS are GREAT FUN when "Boom" PASSES OUT TAMBORINES & SHAKERS to the CROWD an ENCOURAGES THEM to JOIN IN or to DANCE or SING ALONG.Boom also uses a couple of really great players as a duo or trio(THE LiL BEACH BAND) or a FULL BAND to form BIG BAM BOOM and the Lil BIG BAND depending upon request and availability. 843-756-BOOM (2666) [email protected] CHECK OUT THIS LINK FOR BIG BAM BOOM MERCHANDISE http://www.cafepress.com/bigbamboom
