Band Descriptions
Boomerang invites you into a time machine to experience vintage classics from a golden era of soul/R&B music. This eight-piece horn band gets audiences on their feet, celebrating songs that inspired generations to turn down the lights and turn up the volume.
The seasoned Boomerang players have shared stages with many well-known artists. Our dynamic horn section rekindles great melodies from Stevie Wonder to Van Morrison to Wilson Pickett and more, and the rhythm section honours the best of studio musicians, from Motown to Stax Records. Our singer, Gary Diggins, grew up near the Detroit River and brings the spirit of soul music that floated on the Motor City airwaves.
Boomerang is at home on festival stages, in community halls, at private and corporate celebrations, and even at street parties. We know how to transform a big venue into an intimate living room experience!
