BOOMER ROCK
About The Band
Boomer Rock is your eclectic, high-energy, REAL classic rock band—serving up the kind of music that rattles your soul and makes you sing along like it’s 1968 all over again.
Specializing in what we lovingly call “boomer rock,” our five seasoned musicians bring decades of experience, a deep love for the classics, and a jaw-dropping repertoire of over 300 songs—with a rotating set of at least 100 always ready to roll.
From the Stones to the Doobie Brothers, Zeppelin to Petty, we don’t just play the hits—we breathe life into them with tight harmonies, killer solos, and unexpected twists. Our sets often feature unique instrumentation—like harpsichord, flute, woodwinds, harmonica, and layered vocal harmonies—that surprise and delight even the most devoted classic rock fans.
