Seminole Hard Rock Life April/May Edition | Page 6

Legendary rock ‘n’ roll band BOSTON celebrates 40 years at Hard Rock Live on Friday, April 29, at 8pm. BOSTON is an American rock band formed in Boston, Massachusetts in the late 1970s. Centered on guitarist, keyboardist, songwriter and producer Tom Sholz, the band became an iconic classic rock fixture when it joined the music scene with its self-titled album in 1976. Their debut album was an enormous success and peaked at #3 on the Billboard 200 Albums chart. With more than 17 million copies sold, BOSTON generated rock staples that are still in heavy rotation today such as "More Than a Feeling," "Peace of Mind" and "Smokin." The band’s second album “Don't Look Back” was another chart-topper that confirmed its place in rock history, followed by “Third Stage,” which hit No. 1 on the charts, with the top single of 1986, "Amanda." With more than 31 million albums sold to date, BOSTON has stood the test of time, as evidenced by live audiences that span generations. Fans can expect to hear all the classic songs they have grown to love as well as new additions to the band’s set list based on recent requests. Guests will be treated to Hammond organ work, soaring harmony guitars and exceptional vocal arrangements, as well as BOSTON’s unique visual stage presentation. Don’t miss their highly anticipated performance this spring at Hard Rock Live.
