Frank Feinstein, Rhythm guitarist, lead vocalist, and founding member of Boomerang,
has been strumming and singing since the age of 12. At 16, he was the
youngest writer signed to an exclusive publishing company in Nashville,
with one of his songs recorded by Tommy Cash. In his country music
life, Frank played under the stage name Frank Shannon, filming shows
with Marty Robbins, and playing with Tex Ritter and Dottie West. When
he wasn't playing country music, Frank and bandmates entertained
audiences around Nashville, rockin 'n rollin' at dances, private parties
and local clubs. After finishing school, and a stint with the Coast
Guard, Frank dusted off his guitar and began playing and singing in
restaurants and lounges all over the south. These days, it's Beatles to
Byrds, Shirelles to Supremes, Raiders to Rascals, that keep Frank
rockin'!
Beverly Feinstein, Lead
vocalist, keyboard player and percussionist began her music life in
church and school choirs. As a teenager, Beverly worked on her Supremes
routines with friends from high school during "slumber" parties. At
18, she switched musical gears to enter the Contemporary
Christian/Gospel circuit, touring with the legendary Jake Hess, and
later, she wrote and recorded an album of spiritual music. Beverly and
Frank dated in high school, went their separate ways, and found each
other again in 2001. They married in 2002 and reminisced about the good
ol' days of rock and roll. Before you could say "boomerang," the group
was up and running, and club dates were selling out. After spending
her teenage years watching the boys have all the fun playing the hits of
the 60's, Beverly decided it was her turn to rock 'n roll.Frank and Beverly play with some of the best musicians around to make Boomerang Nashville's premier 60's tribute band. Baby Boomers danced to the music when it was new, raised their kids on it, and now fans of all ages come out to experience the Golden Age of Rock 'n Roll.
John Noreen, Originally
from Southern California, John started playing guitar in 1961 at the
age of 11. He formed his first band two years later playing surf songs
and other covers. This continued until, in 1967, that same band now
called the Rose Garden, recorded a top 20 single "Next Plane To London"
and album in that same year. Much touring and television followed. In
1968, John took up the steel guitar. By 1970, John had started playing
the country clubs in and around L.A. In 1973 he became a member of pop
singer John Davidson’s backup band and for the next two years toured all
over the country doing lots of TV such as the Tonight Show and the
Sonny and Cher show. In 1986, John became a member of a "new wave"
polka band called Rotondi playing bass. He toured and recorded two CDs
for the band during the next four years. In 1990 John began playing
steel guitar for the country band Highway 101 and subsequently moved to
Nashville. He continued to record and tour the US and Europe with them
for the next five years. In the mid-nineties, John became a member of a
Nashville band (via Hoboken) called the Delevantes playing 12-string
guitar and steel guitar. During that period, he recorded two CDs with
the band for Rounder and Capital Records as well as touring the US and
Europe and performing on TV shows such as Conan O'Brian. Today, wanting
to stay a little closer to home, John is playing lead guitar for the
60's tribute band, Boomerang, and having a blast playing the rock and roll sounds of the past.

several years, then ran Faded Blue Music, a production company on Music
Row. Here, he wrote and produced jingles for many national clients
including Kentucky Fried Chicken, Goodyear and Pizza Hut. Don played

of their material and co-producing their CD. He was recently profiled

Gay Dement, Lead
vocalist, percussionist and Frank’s sister, has been singing since she
was two years old when her Mom and Dad placed her on the bar
in a tavern and she sang for pretzels and peanuts! Also a trained
dancer, she was active in high school with Theater Nashville, Circle
Theater and Children’s Theater performing many different acting roles.
She played the piano as "Miss Music" for the Romper Room School on a
local television channel as well as hosting the reruns of "The Mickey
Mouse Club" for three years in the sixties as "Kay" with Ken Bramming.
Majoring in music and minoring in drama at Belmont University, she owned
a dance school in Nashville for 15 years before going into public
relations and advertising. Eager to have the chance to perform with her
brother, she joined Boomerang in November of 2004 and is excited to be a red-hot rock and roll grandma!

Doug Frame, Drummer,
started out in the fourth grade school band after his older brother's
friend, who played drums, broke a drum stick with a karate chop. Doug
was so impressed with his friend's "talent," Doug picked up the drums
himself. Doug hasn't stopped playing since that time. He has traveled
the world, several times, and toured most states working with or opening
for the likes of Teddy Gentry of Alabama, The Dixie Chicks, Willie
Nelson, Greg Allman and Phil Driscoll, as well as performing at
Alabama's June Jam X and Fan Fair with the Tim Briggs Band. After
moving to Nashville, Doug spent several years on the road with the
Willie Nelson Tribute Show as a member of the Highway Legends that still
performs locally. Doug and his wife Suzanne have called Nashville home
since 2001, and Boomerang his new musical home. Like a boomerang that comes back around,
the oldies keep coming back as well, and
BOOMERANG is keeping the greatest songs on Earth
alive and well in a town near you.
