You may have heard about Boston, the band, and how they found their new lead singer after losing Brad Delp. It was all by mistake really and never could’ve happened without social media sites such as Myspace.
Tommy DeCarlo, a credit manager at Home Depot in Charlotte, North Carolina recorded a karaoke-style mp3 and uploaded it to his Myspace page as a tribute to Brad Delp. Along came the wife of Boston’s founder, Tom Scholz, who was surfing around Myspace and stumbled onto Tommy’s version of their song. Amazed, he flew Tommy and family up for an audition and resulted in a Delp tribute show and tour invite.
Having rapped the summer tour, Tommy will appear on Boston’s new album due out in early 2009 along with Stryper frontman, Michael Sweet.
