BOSTON to tour in 2014!

Tom Scholz' band BOSTON will embark on a highly anticipated summer tour following the successful release of their latest album, Life, Love & Hope. The tour will kick off on June 5 at the Seminole Hard Rock Live in Hollywood, FL. Always a huge crowd pleaser with their high-energy stage show, out-of-this-world sound, and remarkable musicianship and singing, BOSTON will feature the personnel and music from their highly acclaimed 2012 tour with some exciting additions. The band prides itself on performing a totally live show without the use of prerecorded music or technical enhancements, delivering the exceptional sound that is faithful to their studio recordings.

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.

Sea Shepherd Conservation Society's mission is to end the destruction of habitat and slaughter of wildlife in the world s oceans in order to conserve and protect ecosystems and species. "What greater legacy can you leave than because of you a species survived, because of you a habitat was protected," said Sea Shepherd Conservation Society founder, Captain Paul Watson.

The Shriners operate a network of 22 Hospitals for Children specializing in orthopedic, cleft lip and palette, spinal cord injury and burn care regardless of the patients ability to pay.

SiriusXM will broadcast an exclusive special on the making of BOSTON's 6th studio album, Life, Love & Hope, to its listeners across North America this week.  BOSTON s Life, Love & Hope Album Track-By-Track Special with Tom Scholz and SiriusXM host Meg Griffin will air on SiriusXM s Classic Rewind channel on March 10 at 6pm ET, with replays scheduled throughout the week. In addition, SiriusXM's U.S. subscribers will have the chance to win a trip to Las Vegas to see BOSTON's concert at The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.

Boston Is Back: An In-Depth Conversation with Guitar Legend Tom Scholz

By Russell Hall |01.21.2014

Beginning with Boston s mega-selling 1976 self-titled debut, the pioneering guitarist has always insisted on creative autonomy, hunkering down in his basement studio, often for years, to craft the songs, sounds and arrangements that meet his exacting standards. Seemingly interminable gaps between albums have been common, but the musical riches on each Boston release have always been worth the wait.

Life, Love & Hope , Boston s first album in 11 years, offers perfect proof of that fact. Rife with Scholz s majestic guitar work distinguished by one of the most recognizable tones in rock the album hews close to the classic style that first put Boston on the map all those years ago. Roiled by the tragic death of lead singer Brad Delp in 2007, Scholz settled on a vocalist-by-committee approach for the disc, even stepping up to the microphone to sing one song himself. And, as always, he turned exclusively to his legendary  68 Les Pauls to produce those glorious guitar sounds.

 These are all songs from the heart, he says,  each of them taking many months of effort to write, arrange, perform and record, always up to the demands of Boston's harshest critic, me. They have all been meticulously recorded to analog tape on the same machines and equipment used for Boston's hits for the past 35 years.

Scholz spoke with us recently about the making of the album, his distinctive guitar sound, and why he regards the guitar as a  symphonic instrument. He also talked at length about the new Tom Scholz 1968 Les Paul signature guitar--#10 in Gibson s Collector's Choice"! series which he and Gibson worked together to produce last year.
