Launched in 2009, Randy Patterson’s Boomerocity has hundreds of positive, sincere, one-on-one interview conversations that show fans the true heart of the Baby Boomer generation of musicians, entertainers, and their associates, as well as today’s icons, influencers, and up-and-comers in music.

Randy’s first “interview” was a “chance” meeting with Col. Tom Parker (Elvis’s legendary manager) in 1973. It was the first concert Randy ever attended. He was just thirteen years old. Many years later when Randy launched Boomerocity, he interviewed several of the musicians who were on that stage with Elvis.

Boomerocity focuses on the entertainment interests of baby boomers as well as shares some thoughts and lessons learned that we sometimes need to be reminded of.

Randy does this work that he loves in the Great Smoky Mountains of East Tennessee.
