Overview

Boomslang is a classic music duo, primarily acoustic with some electric guitar versions of beloved tunes. From the Beatles to Glen Campbell to Tom Petty, we have a wide variety of tunes to perform. Rob and Scott are formerly the two primary guitar players from the successful San Diego County based band Mirage. Mirage, a five-piece band, was together for 12 years and performed throughout San Diego County, as well as Orange County. Mirage provides a full P.A. system, break music, our instruments, and basic stage lighting for your private party, restaurant or nightclub. Rob and Scott both sing lead and provide each other backing vocals. We look forward to performing at your venue or event!

About

The band Mirage had a great run, 12 years! That would include two covid years, which I'm sure you all know about. Well, Mirage
has disbanded. From the ashes rises Boomslang, an acoustic and some electric duo, with the two primary guitar players of Mirage.
We have crafted setlists of classic tunes that lend themselves well to a duo performance and so far, people love it! In addition, we like to throw in a couple original tunes to make it even more fun. Just a few of the artists that Boomslang performs are, The Beatles, John Denver, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, Eric Clapton, The Moody Blues, The Mamas and the Papas, Van Morrison, The Monkees. I won't list the rest, as I don't want to ruin the surprises! Both Scott and I have played in a number of bands spanning decades. We really
love this arrangement and all the possibilities it opens up. We look forward to performing at your upcoming event!

Additional booking notes

Boomslang has their own PA (public address system) Stage Monitors and stage lighting, adequate for most small and large venues.
