Tom Scholz is bringing Boston back for a summer tour on the strength of their new album Life, Love & Hope, announcing a batch of tour dates starting in Hollywood, Florida on June 5.
Scholz spoke with Carter Alan at 100.7 WLZX in Boston in December, and gave few details on the tour but said “We’re planning it more and more seriously” and “It’s looking very promising.”
The only current dates on the east coast are in Florida and Georgia. There are no northeast U.S. dates anywhere, not even Boston – so it can be safely assumed that this is not all of the planned tour dates for the band.
They will feature the same personnel seen at last May’s performance at last May’s Boston Strong concert, plus a few new additions. Select shows will sell copies of Boston’s Greatest Hits album, each of which will give a chance to win a signed Epiphone guitar by Scholz, with net proceeds going to two of Scholz’s favorite charities, the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society and the Shriner’s Hospital for Children.
