Overview

Boomtown has re-located to the New Bern, NC area and now go by the name The Salty Bones Band. Salty Bones Band is an electric and/or acoustic four-piece band which primarily plays covers from the 1980’s. We also play many songs from the 60’s and 70’s (and beyond) and have added a country playlist as well. Last, but not least, we also feature a tribute to the classic Fleetwood Mac Rumours album. With well over 100 songs to chose from, we can customize an evening of music to fit your needs. We also can perform as an acoustic trio for more intimate engagements.

Nice job!

Boomtown was very professional and had a great sound. Guests were really impressed with their talent. They played two extended sets with only a small break. Worth every penny.

Hi Karen,
I don't think we officially thanked you for your nice review. We surely appreciate it and it goes without saying we had a great time playing. Dave D. wanted me to ask if your husband ever asked the one guest (female) who shot phone video of "Lyin' Eyes." We were hoping to get a file of it to post to our Facebook page. In any event, thanks again for the kind words.

David Shrensky

What to expect

The Salty Bones Band specializes in good, fun, danceable music, primarily from the 70’s and 80’s. If desired we could play an all-80’s evening with trivia contests. With well-over 100 songs we can tailor a set list to your particular interest. We are neat, clean and pick up after ourselves!!!

About

The Salty Bones band is available as either a four piece electric band or an acoustic trio. We play good, fun, danceable songs, primarily from the 70’s and 80’s with some more contemporary songs and some country thrown in for good measure. Songs you can dance to and sing along with. Songs that will have you saying, “I haven’t heard that song in a long time. I love that song!”
