Kenmore Square

For decades, Kenmore Square was at the center of Boston's music scene thanks to the numerous record stores, and venues like Storyville and the legendary rock club, The Rathskeller. Here, we will learn about the numerous garage, punk, and new wave bands that crawled out of "the Rat" in the 70s and 80s. The Police played here 4 times on their first US tour in 1979. This is also the venue where Pixies first shared the same bill as the Throwing Muses. Also, we will stop by "Nuggets" one of the last records stores left in the neighborhood before winding our around Fenway Park

The tour was informative and fun! Matt was knowledgeable and friendly. His accessories (photos, music recordings) added to the experience. The places he took us to along the route were all important to the Boston music scene. His stories to match the locations were great to learn. The walk was manageable with a reasonable distance and pace.
Awesome tour

The tour guide was awesome - very knowledgeable and entertaining. I loved the stories - he must've mentioned at least 15 bands I really like. And starting and ending at the Verb Hotel was a real bonus - that place has some amazing rock memorabilia.
