BOOM GASPAR

'Kenneth "Boom" Gaspar' (born 1953 in Waimānalo, Hawaii) is a piano/keyboard/organ player who has performed with the Seattle rock band Pearl Jam since 2002.
Eddie Vedder first met Boom while in Hawaii.^[1] Gaspar was introduced to Vedder through C. J. Ramone.^[2] He appears on their albums ''Riot Act'' and ''Pearl Jam''. He has a songwriting credit for the song "Love Boat Captain" which is on ''Riot Act''. He is also known for his long solos during "Crazy Mary", a song originally written by Victoria Williams, which has become a fan favorite during live Pearl Jam shows. This often culminates in a guitar/organ duel between Boom and Mike McCready.^[3]
