Itinéraire
Conçu par Frederick Law Olmsted, le Fens est un espace vert précieux à Boston et abrite les jardins de la Victoire, les plus anciens d'Amérique de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Sur l'EP Modern Lovers, Jonathan Richman chante : « Je marche à travers le Fenway avec mon cœur dans la main ». Nous nous promènerons dans les jardins avant de nous diriger vers Kenmore Square.
Pendant des décennies, Kenmore Square a été au centre de la scène musicale de Boston grâce à ses nombreux magasins de disques et à des lieux comme Storyville et le légendaire club de rock The Rathskeller. Ici, nous découvrirons les nombreux groupes de garage, de punk et de new wave qui sont issus de « the Rat » dans les années 70 et 80. The Police a joué ici 4 fois lors de leur première tournée aux États-Unis en 1979. C'est également le lieu où les Pixies ont pour la première fois partagé la même affiche que les Throwing Muses. Nous nous arrêterons également chez "Nuggets", l'un des derniers magasins de disques du quartier, avant de parcourir Fenway Park.
Promenez-vous dans Landsdowne Street à l'ombre de Fenway Park et écoutez des récits de lieux passés et présents, notamment la Boston Tea Party, Venus De Milo, Avalon/Axis, Spit et bien plus encore ! À l'heure actuelle, des groupes locaux et nationaux se pressent dans la rue Landsdowne pour jouer au House of Blues ou au nouveau MGM Music Hall.

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
I bought it for my daughter for Christmas . Her friend and her were the only ones on the tour . She said they had a blast!!! She would highly recommend it if you love music and music history!!!
