David and the Boomers - As we pass our "monthiversary" and things start to calm down a little, we just wanted to send you a note thank you for everything you did for us! We were SOOOOO happy with our wedding and the energy and mood of the reception. There was so much excitement in the air and people were dancing til the very end (even with an encore!). That is exactly what we wanted to happen. It was perfect!

Every song yall played was fantastic, but we especially loved your renditions of our first dance/father-daughter dance/mother-son dance. It was a really special time for us and you set the moodperfectly. We have friends whovideotaped these and the music is just fantastic! (and now we get to have it forever)

Even beyond keeping all of our guests entertained and happy, you were also incredibly nice and easy to work with. We really appreciate your flexibility and your very prompt responses to emails to all sorts of random questions I sent! Thank you so much! You helped make our wedding day truly perfect and unforgettable.

Hi Steve - The Boomers were the perfect band for Palmetto Bluff's Music to Your Mouth Festival. Their energy was electric and our guests couldn't help but get up and dance. The play list was right on for the vibe we were looking for. Thanks so much for the stellar recommendation.

Corporate Event

The Boomers not only had great music and vocals but know how to read a crowd and play songs appropriate for the mood of the moment. They have a broad range of styles and songs such that young and old alike were out on the dance floor all night; they also learned a song for our first dance which turned out perfectly. We were so thrilled that they did such an amazing job for our wedding!

thx!! Jess

We couldn't have asked for a more perfect reception band for our wedding! The Boomers did an amazing job getting our guests on the dance floor and provided incredible help to my husband and I during the planning process. I can't even count how many compliments I have received from our family and friends about them and I hope they were able to enjoy the chilly night in Asheville as much as we did because of them!

Wedding

My wife and I set a very high bar for music at our wedding. We knew that we wanted a band that would appeal to guests of all ages. More importantly, as big music fans, we wanted a band that sounded great, had a cool vibe and a classy act. The Boomers exceeded all of our expectations. On a cold night, they kept us all dancing well past when everything was supposed to wrap up. Their vocals and instrumentation were awesome, whether for our first dance song or for more high-octane stuff post cake-cutting. We can't thank them enough for a fantastic night. We recommend them highly to anyone in search of a great wedding band.

We met The Boomers back in June, 2011 at the kick-off for the Ford Focus 2012 Drive with Purpose event. Jason Michael Carroll was the celebrity selected for the Charlotte portion of the competitive fundraiser and Brittany's Battle, Inc. was his charity of choice. What a pleasant surprise to find out that Ford had chosen a local artist to perform at the multiple events around the Charlotte area. The Boomers were the perfect choice! Their performances were top notched and we were quite impressed. Not only were they very entertaining, they were extremely professional. Vaughan, Rick and the rest of the band fully supported BBI and our efforts to make Charlotte the top location between the four cities in the Ford national competition. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a fun, crowd pleasing, professional performer. They are the best!

David and the Boomers were great to work with. They put on a really fun show for our daughter's wedding reception. David worked with us to select special music that the Boomers learned to perform for the first time at our event. The Boomers were great to work with!
