Tommy DeCarlo works at Home Depot and loves the awesome rock group Boston so much that his daughter Talia put a video of him kareoke singing Boston songs on his MySpace.

Lead singer Brad Delp committed suicide and Tom Scholtz, the Band’s founder and creator of the magnificient Boston guitar sound, (that you could emulate with an audio device called a Rockman that I used to own) , was looking for a replacement. Scholtz’s wife was searching the internet and discovered DeCarlo singing Delp’s part. Scholtz was amazed at how close to Delp DeCarlo’s vocal quality and power was.

So now the Home Depot manager is Boston’s new lead singer. For Real!

Rock On!
