The Boomer Band's Show Features 50's Dance Style Rock & Roll Music. If Your Looking For an evening of "HIGH ENERGY", you will have come to the right place! Boomer Band is an eight-piece band based out of the Portland, Oregon area. The Boomer Band has provided music and entertainment for corporate and special events for discriminating clients at some of the finest facilities and private residences in the Pacific Northwest.
