Brad Delp and Kimberley Dahme will be appearing on WZID (95.7 FM Manchester, New Hampshire) as WZID will be broadcasting live from the Palace Theatre on Dec. 14 at 7pm EST for Christmas at the Palace Theatre, with proceeds going to the Make a Wish Foundation.
If you live in the Manchester area and want to see the show live, unfortunately you're out of luck if you haven't purchased a ticket yet as this show is sold out. Not to worry though, you can still listen to the show live on WZID. If you don't live in the Manchester area, you can listen to the audio stream at www.wzid.com.
Joining Brad and Kimberley are many other artists -- some known to the Boston community, like David Stefanelli (RTZ), Michael Troy (who worked with Stefanelli in Beloved Few) and Lisa Guyer.

If you've visited this site in the last day or so, you probably noticed that the site would load poorly - or not at all. For over a day, most attempts to access this site would bring up the following error:
403.9 Access Forbidden: Too many users are connected
This was happening Monday afternoon, evening and early Tuesday morning. A trouble ticket was sent to my webhost Tuesday evening and within a couple hours, the site was working like magic.
After years of mediocre service from Elosoft (aka "NextWebHosting"), I've come to a decision -- this site needs a new home, and soon.
If you would like to help cover the costs of moving this site to a new, and hopefully better web host, you can donate using the link below. If you don't have a PayPal account, they do accept credit cards. If you don't have a credit card and would like to contribute another way, please let me know. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

While there's no breaking news, I thought it'd be a good idea to create a post regarding the upcoming album, since a lot of fans might be wondering whether or not there is or will be another Boston album.
Well there is going to be another Boston album. There is no information yet regarding the title, songs, etc, but it is known that Kimberley and Brad have recorded some tracks. Now there was a rumor floating around that Kimberley was taking position of lead singer, but Troy from boston.org contacted Brad and he has denounced the rumor. Both Brad and Kimberley have been recording vocals. There have been rumors as well that the band lineup was changing dramatically, including Anthony not being invited to participate in any recording sessions, however this seems to be just another baseless rumor.
Hopefully we will get some official word soon regarding the album, and possibly be able to put to rest the rumors that have been circling throughout the online Boston communities.
