Itinerario
Progettato da Frederick Law Olmsted, il Fens è uno spazio verde prezioso a Boston e ospita i Victory Gardens, i più antichi giardini della Seconda Guerra Mondiale d'America. Nell'EP Modern Lovers, Jonathan Richman canta: "Cammino attraverso il Fenway con il cuore in mano". Passeggeremo attraverso i giardini prima di dirigerci verso Kenmore Square.
Per decenni, Kenmore Square è stata al centro della scena musicale di Boston grazie ai numerosi negozi di dischi e locali come Storyville e il leggendario rock club, The Rathskeller. Qui conosceremo le numerose band garage, punk e new wave che sono emerse dal "The Rat" negli anni '70 e '80. I Police suonarono qui 4 volte durante il loro primo tour negli Stati Uniti nel 1979. Questo è anche il luogo in cui i Pixies condivisero per la prima volta lo stesso cartellone dei Throwing Muses. Inoltre, ci fermeremo a "Nuggets", uno degli ultimi negozi di dischi rimasti nel quartiere prima di girare per Fenway Park
Cammina lungo Landsdowne Street all'ombra del Fenway Park e ascolta le storie dei locali passati e presenti, tra cui il Boston Tea Party, Venus De Milo, Avalon/Axis, Spit e molti altri! Attualmente, gruppi locali e nazionali si radunano in Landsdowne Street per suonare alla House of Blues o al nuovo MGM Music Hall.

Music fans are in for a treat with the Soundscapes Boston Music Tour! Matt is highly knowledgeable and enthusiastic about historical and cultural events that shaped the Boston music scene, from jazz and folk, to 60-70’s rock and alternative indie. It was fun walking around and learning more about influential artists who put Boston on the map. Special thanks to Matt for being so helpful and accommodating. He was a pleasure to work with and highly recommend his tour!

Matt’s knowledge and enthusiasm are great. Spot on for rock fans. Added bonus walking through the Fens to understand what that’s all about.
Matt was very great tour guide. We learned lots of information on famous artists. There also was a Belfast connection with the Oh Ya studio.
The tour was informative and fun! Matt was knowledgeable and friendly. His accessories (photos, music recordings) added to the experience. The places he took us to along the route were all important to the Boston music scene. His stories to match the locations were great to learn. The walk was manageable with a reasonable distance and pace.
The tour guide was awesome - very knowledgeable and entertaining. I loved the stories - he must've mentioned at least 15 bands I really like. And starting and ending at the Verb Hotel was a real bonus - that place has some amazing rock memorabilia.
