Boston burst onto the music scene with their eponymous best-selling debut album in 1976, and never looked back.  With over 17 million copies sold, Boston generated hits such as “More Than a Feeling,” “Peace of Mind,” and “Smokin’,” rock staples that are still in heavy rotation today.  Their second effort, Don’t Look Back was another chart-topper that confirmed their place in rock history, followed by Third Stage, which hit #1 on the charts, with the top single of 1986, “Amanda.”  With over 31 million albums sold to date, their music has stood the test of time, as evidenced by live Boston audiences that span generations.

Last December, Boston released their newest studio album, Life, Love & Hope on Frontiers Records. More than a decade in the making, Life, Love & Hope features 11 tracks embodying the classic and beloved Boston sound, as well as the latest in the evolution of Tom Scholz’ musical artistry.

Scholz has been a longstanding advocate of the vegetarian lifestyle, and prevention of cruelty and suffering to animals both nonhuman and human.  This summer, at selected concerts on the tour, there will be a promotional sale of the Boston CD, Greatest Hits.  Every CD sold comes with a chance to win an Epiphone guitar signed by Tom Scholz.  The winner from each show will be announced later that night.  Net proceeds of the guitar contest will be split between Sea Shepherd Conservation Society and the Shriners Hospitals for Children.
