Reiseverlauf
Das von Frederick Law Olmsted entworfene Fens ist eine geschätzte Grünfläche in Boston und beherbergt Amerikas ältesten Garten aus dem Zweiten Weltkrieg, die Victory Gardens. Auf der Modern Lovers EP singt Jonathan Richman: „I walk through the 'Fenway with my heart in my hand“. Wir werden durch die Gärten schlendern, bevor wir zum Kenmore Square gehen.
Dank der zahlreichen Plattenläden und Veranstaltungsorte wie Storyville und dem legendären Rockclub The Rathskeller war Kenmore Square jahrzehntelang das Zentrum der Bostoner Musikszene. Hier erfahren wir etwas über die zahlreichen Garage-, Punk- und New-Wave-Bands, die in den 70er und 80er Jahren aus „the Rat“ hervorkamen. Die Police spielte hier viermal auf ihrer ersten US-Tournee im Jahr 1979. Dies ist auch der Veranstaltungsort, an dem die Pixies zum ersten Mal mit den Throwing Muses auftraten. Außerdem werden wir bei „Nuggets“ vorbeischauen, einem der letzten Plattenläden in der Nachbarschaft, bevor wir durch den Fenway Park schlendern
Spazieren Sie im Schatten des Fenway Parks die Landsdowne Street entlang und hören Sie Geschichten über vergangene und aktuelle Veranstaltungsorte, darunter die Boston Tea Party, Venus De Milo, Avalon/Axis, Spit und mehr! Derzeit strömen lokale und nationale Bands in die Landsdowne Street, um im House of Blues oder in der neuen MGM Music Hall zu spielen.

My daughter and I ended with a personal tour, as no others were scheduled during our time. Matt met us promptly and was a knowledgable, enthusiastic and engaged tour guide. Enjoyed seeing the items in the Verb Hotel and the town as we walked around. He was very helpful when we needed directions to head to another area of town after the tour and with a suggestion for a place for lunch (and took us there). Highly recommend this tour with someone who clearly loves the subject and Boston.
For anyone who is interested in rock music (Pixies, Nirvana, Radiohead, The Cars, Bruce Springsteen, just to name a few) and would like to learn about their connection to Boston, I would highly recommend this tour. Matt, the guide, is a local musician himself is very approachable and entertaining. Recommend!
Very enjoyable, fun tour that covers how important Boston was to the developing rock, punk, and indie music scene. The Guide/Matt was very knowledgeable and friendly. Even if you're familiar with Boston, this tour shows tge city in a different light.
As New England natives,long time concert goers, and potential Berklee student we had a great time on the Soundscape walking tour through Fenway and Kenmore Square! Our guide, Matt, brought the party and took us on a nostalgic journey. His unmatched enthusiasm from the start, truly brought the history to life. He asked about our personal customer preferences and musical tastes before we kicked off, tailoring the stories to hit on our favorite genres and artists. As a local musician, his knowledge is impressive. He shared deep, gritty, behind-the-scenes trivia about vanished legendary venues like The Rat and icons like JGeils, Aerosmith, New Kids on the Block and the Pixies. Matt was a great Hang and very generous with his knowledge not only of the rock n roll scene but also Berklee and the current Boston music scene we would and have recommended his tour! Enjoy
