Yahuba GarciaYahuba Garcia: The StoryYahuba Garcia
Born-June 25, 1974---Cambridge, MA
Instruments: Congas, tenor saxophone, timbales, bongó, assorted latin percussion, trap drums and vocals.
Education: UMASS, Amherst/Lowell; Berklee College of Music
Yahuba: In the language of the Puerto Rican ancestors, the Taino Indians, Yahuba means ‘music’ or a ‘strong musical scream’.
The Boston-born Puerto Rican Conga sensation has been lighting up the Boston music scene with so many different bands, it is hard to keep track. He has recently been seen on stage with Percy Hill, Blacksnake, Jen Kearney & The Lost Onion, The Boston Horns, Assembly of Dust &, The Ryan Montbleau Band, just to name a handful. This list only keeps getting longer as more Boston musicians hear and see him play.
As an educator he has been visiting schools, speaking and performing in front of children of all ages about his Puerto Rican culture, music and heritage. Yahuba is also a private percussion instructor in the Boston area.
As a musician, Yahuba knows no boundaries, he embraces every style of music as if it was his own, and is true to the craft of showmanship. One only needs to see the charismatic joy he delivers while through his music to understand how he got his name

Corey B. - Trombone
I am from Hooksett, NH. My dad only listened to big band jazz. I remember the first time I heard U2 I thought it was so wierd they didn't have horn players. When I found out that rock bands mostly don't have them I was surprised to say the least. No matter for me though because my friends from Candia got me playing the trombone (and singing too!!) in our band Wrenchpilot. After that Nick asked me to play with Snatch which later became 5Bucks!, which was a huge honor. Also, I felt real lucky to play in The Ecclectics, VD, and with my own band Boomstick 603. After I moved to Lowell, Ben Hillman asked if I would play trombone in his band The Royal Family. I felt so intimidated, but also lucky to be playing with such an amazing group of people and musicians. I still occassionally play bass in my little punk band Final Blowout at The Expo Center, but really Jen keeps me pretty damn busy and for that I'm grateful.
