Thanks to the Professor, Jim Price for his review of the band, published in the April 2008 PA Musician:

"I finally caught up with CK & the Boomers [sic] during their early March performance at Altoona’s Family Pizza & Pub. This group features several seasoned vets of the area music scene; Bob and Patty Helbig both sing; Bob plays bass and Patty plays some acoustic guitar and percussion.The group also features former Stillwater keyboardist/singer John Koeck, Dave Nichols on guitar, and John Stevens plays drums. From CK & the Boomers you’ll hear rock’n’roll, R&B and country hits from the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s. With Bob, Patty and John Koeck all handling lead singing duties, the group spans a wide variety of sounds, from the Four Tops and Eddie Floyd to Billy Joel, the Stray Cats, Quarterflash, Johnny Cash, B-52’s, the Beatles, Pat Benatar and more. Highlights were numerous; including songs I didn’t expect to hear such as Bob and Patty’s Ike & Tina spin on “Proud Mary,” John singing Hall & Oates’ “Kiss on My List” and Hot Chocolate’s “You Sexy Thing,” and special guest Jerrone Barnes lending his soulful falsetto on the Miracles’ “Ooh Baby Baby.” CK & the Boomers did it all well, showing ample versatility in bringing this wide range of songs to life. CK & the Boomers maintain a busy performance schedule throughout central Pennsylvania; watch for their return to Family Pizza & Pub."
