BOSTON shows, myths, and truths By Tom Scholz

In spite of recent misleading ads claiming BOSTON appearances and even
reunions of original members, BOSTON is not touring or performing this
year. While we're off this summer, several of our members are involved with
other projects that are worth catching if you can:

Kimberley Dahme is releasing her new CD "You Make Me Believe" this month
and has many solo appearances scheduled. Gary Pihl contributed writing,
performing and production help to her effort, and Jeff Neal and I also did
a little playing on the album. Gary will be joining Kimberley at several of
her performances ... check out her tour page: http://www.kdsongs.com/

Michael Sweet is touring with Stryper this fall in support of Stryper's new
album "Murder by Pride." The tour marks their 25th Anniversary. Gary Pihl
and I hope to catch up with them to sit in at some point.

Also, Gary Pihl is compiling a series of good quality video clips from live
shows soon to be available here on bandboston.com, watch for it!

We are hoping to embark on another major BOSTON tour next year. Meanwhile,
I am finally back working to complete the next BOSTON studio album with
some help from the gang, and I think you are really going to like it!

But I'm telling you it's not BOSTON...

As many of you know, numerous dates have been announced for the band Cosmo,
but have been promoted using the name, logo, or even the recorded music of
BOSTON, which may have confused some as to whether BOSTON would be
performing.

Fran Cosmo has explained that he was unaware that BOSTON's name, logo, or
music were being used by his agent to promote Cosmo as BOSTON. While most
of it has stopped, there are still some problems with unauthorized use of
the name BOSTON in connection with some scheduled Cosmo performances.

Cosmo's extensive covers of older BOSTON songs recorded prior to Fran's
involvement raised some eyebrows, but as long as these shows are not
promoted in a misleading way using BOSTON, we see no problem with their
performance of a few BOSTON songs, and wish them luck with their summer
tour.
