• Me enteré de que había dos chicos locales en la ciudad haciendo canciones y comedia, así que pensé en echar un vistazo..... Me dejaron sin aliento ... con su música, comedia, y showmanship.... Dakaboom'... ¡es el artículo genuino! Dos voces en perfecta armonía, y con alegre abandono y humor, te llevan a un mágico, musical y moderno vodevil. Ben McLain y Paul Peglar van camino del estrellato. Son únicos, originales y se les conoce como "Dakaboom". No se los pierdan porque se van a divertir de lo lindo.
