Kenneth "Boom" Gaspar (born 1953 in Waimānalo, Hawai'i) is a piano/keyboard/organ player who has toured with the Seattle rock band Pearl Jam since 2002. Eddie Vedder first met Boom while surfing in Hawaii.[1] 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.[2]
