Feedback

  • Overall the booking experience was great! It was easy to communicate with them coming up to the event. Neil of Boomerang was very responsive, which I appreciated. They were great live as well and had put together quite an enjoyable setlist; the songs flowed well from piece to piece. Additionally, Boomerang had learned "It's Five o'clock Somewhere," at request, in time for our event. I am glad we found Boomerang for it. -- Karen C, Durham, NC, 3/28/2009
  • The guys did a great job; they were nice, polite, and talented. The place we had the event was not great for them because the museum is concrete and glass and the sound bounced off of the walls, floor, and ceiling making it hard for them to provide good sound that wasn't deafening. I would definitely hire them again, in a different location, and perhaps for a different crowd. I think our group was a bit stodgy for a rock band. I thoroughly enjoyed them. Thank you for your help. -- Mary J, Durham, NC, 12/8/2008
  • Boomerang was great. They played a variety of good music and are very talented. -- Dexter H, Chapel Hill, NC, 12/2/2008
