Today, their founder and creative mastermind celebrates his 79th birthday.
Even with a successful engineering career, Scholz felt something was missing. While still at his day job, he built his own studio and spent more than five years recording demos and sending them to record labels.
Scholz then completed the band’s lineup by recruiting drummer Jim Masdea, bassist Fran Sheehan, guitarist Barry Goudreau and later drummer Sib Hashian.
When Epic tried to market the album with the slogan “Better music through science,” Scholz pushed back.
Scholz's attention to detail meant fans often waited years between albums. The follow-ups Don't Look Back and Third Stage were delayed — but the patience paid off. Boston's first four albums all reached the Top 10 in the U.S. and internationally.
Today, Scholz remains Boston’s primary songwriter and guitarist, as well as the sole remaining original member. Though he once disliked being called the “mad scientist in the basement,” he now admits it wasn’t far from the truth.
With a seventh Boston album still rumored to be in the works, the basement studio may not have heard the last of Scholz.
