  • Bio

    NEWS UPDATE -- WAYMON BOONE RELOCATED BACK TO HOLLYWOOD, CA. WERE HE STARTED A FILM COMPANY. BOONDOCK FILMS. HE JUST FINISHED DIRECTING HIS FIRST FEATURE FILM CALLED "THE DEVIL'S IN THE DETAILS" STARRING EMILIO RIVERA (FROM THE HIT SHOW SONS OF ANARCHY) LANE GARRISON (FROM THE SHOW PRISON BREAK, AND NOEL GUGLIEMI (TRAINING DAY, FAST & FURIOUS) CURRENTLY THE FILM IS IN POST PRODUCTION UNTIL SOMETIME IN THE NEW YEAR. GOTO WWW.BOONDOCKFILMS.COM THNX FOR THE SUPPORT!! Guitarist/vocalist/songwriter Waymon Boone and bassist James Cruz formed the alternative pop/rock quartet Splender. The New York-based group went through various incarnations, eventually choosing drummer Marc Slutsky and lead guitarist Jonathan Svec to round out the band... The fledgling group embarked on an extensive European festival tour opening for such nu-metal titans as Korn, as well as playing various gigs around New York City. Bandleader Waymon Boone was the son of a professional R&B/disco singer and often accompanied his mother on the road. While traveling with her, he witnessed first-hand the hardships that go along with being a musician... This did not deter him or the band as they were finally rewarded with a recording contract from Columbia Records after they were awarded best band at a contest. Their years of hard work paid off when they teamed with respected musician/producer Todd Rundgren on their 1999 debut album Halfway Down the Sky. The album spawned two crossover hits in "Yeah, Whatever" and "I Think God Can Explain." The band signed with legendary music mogul Clive Davis' J Records. A year later, To Whom It May Concern was released... Shortly following their second release, the group disbanded to start other projects.
