The Mile High Boomers, an a cappella singing quartet
A doctor, a lawyer, a mathematician and a philosopher walk into a bar and...
The Mile High Boomers have been singing together since just days before COVID shut everything down. Some of us have been singing together since 2013, in previous quartets. We have managed a few rehearsals in 2022.
The Mile High Boomers consists of: 2 lawyers, 2 Brits, 4 Americans, 2 guitar players, 3 retirees, 2 military vets, 2 software engineers... and yet you can fit them all into one booth at Olive Garden.
We were all born within the Baby Boomer era

The Mile High Boomers sang 3 songs on the CCC Independence Day concert at MorningStar on July 2nd 2022. The audience had a great time, and we did too. We'll be back!
The Mile High Boomers sang at the Highlands Ranch Winter Cultural Series as guests of the CCC chorus on March 3rd 2022. The show was well-received and we look forward to taking part in the event again in the future
We had a lot of fun going out and about around Metro Denver delivering Singing Valentines. We sang to various people in restaurants, at their workplaces and at their homes, handing out a rose, chocolates and a card and singing one to three songs. Our victims enjoyed the surprise, harmony and the thoughtfulness of their loved ones. Here's a video of us singing to Laurie at her home in Denver

About Us
Jim - Granpa Boomer
The quiet one. Never, ever ask him about George Washington. Jim is an accomplished singer and plays a mean nose flute, guitar and ukelele, often at the same time and usually without being asked.Jim sings lead in the quartet. That's mostly the melody line of the song (unless he's forgotten what the melody should be)
Jim also sings with the Colorado Chord Company chorus
Dave - Uncle Boomer
The financially responsible one. If you owe people money, Dave can help you. If you have too much money, Dave can help you too.Dave sings baritone. That's the leftover notes in the chords that the others aren't singing. Never listen to solo baritone without adequate hearing protection.
Dave also sings with the Longs Peak Chorus
Geoff - Baby Boomer
Cat lover and vegetarian, Geoff is the normal one.Geoff sings the Bass part, all the low notes that support the chord and/or the rhythm of the song. Geoff puts the Boom into The Boomers
When he's not singing, Geoff does something important in Aerospace. We think he's head of catering, but he hasn't confirmed or denied this.
Geoff also sings in the shower*
* There is no real evidence for this claim (fortunately)
Pierre - Euro Boomer
The technical one. Pierre loves to mess around with microphones, computers and web sites. He spends a lot of time resetting his breaker board and putting out small fires.Pierre sings Tenor. That is a harmony line, usually above the lead. May contain frequencies only audible to dogs.
Pierre also sings in the Colorado Chord Company chorus
