Boca Music founded by a musician for musicians

My name is Crispin Bocanegra, Jr.

My musical adventures started at the early age of 5 years old. Growing up with musical parents, I remember vividly all the amazing musicians I was introduced to early on. My father provided the Latin influence of traditional Tejano and early rock and roll music, while my mother’s deep southern roots blessed me with exposure to blue grass and gospel. Being fortunate enough to grow up in an environment that was so diverse afforded me the opportunity and appreciation for all kinds of musical styles and their instruments.

In the beginning.

Connie Petch and Crispin Bocanegra, owners of Boca Music, first met in high school. After spending four decades on separate paths, they reconnected in 2020. That reunion sparked a renewed passion for music and entrepreneurship, ultimately inspiring the creation of Boca Music.

Dream it.

Every great venture starts with an idea. Boca Music took root in Marshall, Michigan in 2021, built through the partnership of Crispin Bocanegra—an accomplished entertainer and musical instrument collector—and Connie Petch, a seasoned business leader.
