A History of the Boom ! Band
From its very beginnings the "Boom ! Band" developed a reputation as one of the top performing groups, which accompanied our most popular vocalists. In 1996 bass guitarist Jiri Dvorak gathered together several excellent musicians, and the days of hard work were upon them. The fruits of their labors soon included working with such well-known soloists as Lucie Bila and Hana Zagorova. Thanks to the group's superior quality and rumors spreading through the annals of show business, the Boom ! Band's reputation soon spread among other vocal stars.
The fact that the Boom ! Band has worked together with many famous soloists attests to its outstanding and well-deserved reputation.
