Meet Boomer: Nashville's Golden Music Awards "Male Rising Star"

He's been called a cowboy "from the heart." This kindhearted, humble
"country boy" captivates audiences with his heart-wrenching delivery
of fresh country tunes. He lives his songs, and he's not afraid to reveal
his heart on stage so you can live them too.
Early on, Boomer
had a natural affinity for music. He started tinkering with the guitar at age
eight, and by twelve, had moved on to duplicating his favorite songs. By the
time high school rolled around, he was playing weddings and special engagements.
Although he had been singing in church since his early days in Sunday school,
Boomer got his first real taste of singing in college, when he was asked to
lead a musical group for a campus club. He then went on to perform in numerous
concerts and make guest appearances on country music video programs. Buoyed
by positive reviews, he decided to pursue his dream of a career in country music.
While
working on a cattle ranch, Boomer would sing around the campfire at night to
keep his music alive. He later formed a "country trio" which took second
place in a state music competition.
Throughout
this time he committed himself to writing songs, heartfelt country songs. "I've
always loved songs that tell the story of real life, songs that reveal the heart,"
he explains, citing George Strait, Garth Brooks, Johnny Cash, and Paul Overstreet
as just a few of his influences. With a saddlebag of songs and dreams, Boomer
began to
travel extensively,
singing in some of country music's most respected places including: The Palace
and the Opryland Hotel in Nashville, Country Thunder USA, Country Star-Hollywood, The Crazyhorse,
The Palomino, Spanish Springs Ranch, the Ritz-Carlton in Kansas City, and on
the nationally syndicated radio show "Boot Scootin' Partying Nights." In the past two years, Boomer has been recognized with numerous awards including Nashville’s Golden Music Awards “Male Rising Star,” The Online Country Association’s “Rising Star” and “Best Web Site,” as well as Orange County’s “Best Out of County” award. He has also opened for such notable acts as Alan Jackson, George Jones, Don Williams, Chris LeDoux, Sawyer Brown, Lee Greenwood, Billy Dean, Tracy Lawrence, Rascal Flatts, Ty Herndon, John Berry, and many others. From California to Scotland he has toured extensively garnering numerous awards, but more importantly, making fans and friends wherever he goes.
Boomer
can stretch the boundary of traditional country music, then bring you back in
with an emotionally intense ballad. All in all, it's the heart and soul of the
music that matters. When BOOMER McLENNAN pours out his soul in song, people
listen. 'I sing from my heart. It's all I've got It's all that I know to do:'
he says. Anyone who has heard his passionate delivery would agree.
Thanks for stopping by! Boomer McLennan
