The Boomers Classic Rock Band has performed faithful renditions of Baby Boomer favorites for over ten years. The Boomers are exceptional musicians who love and admire the rock artists of their generation and try hard to capture the sound and spirit of the music of the sixties through the nineties.
Michael Anderson's lead vocals capture the vocal stylings of Billy Joel, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Journey, the Cars, and many more. His trumpet playing adds the brass dimension to the Boomers, giving them the true horn sound of the sixties and seventies.
Gina Sauer's lead vocals bring the listener back to the best of Fleetwood Mac, the Go Gos, Carly Simon, Joan Jett, and other great female singers.
Joe Freppert, on lead guitar, is able to easily reproduce signature guitar solos as well as add his own artistic genius to the musuc.
Neal Nordstrom on bass is an energetic entertainer who leads the band in spirit and adds to the celebration with energy and charisma.
