With 126 nights of live music, the series features a mix of local talent and internationally known acts. This year’s series welcomed Tommy DeCarlo to the America Gardens Theatre stage, giving fans an unforgettable night of rock music.
Born in Utica, New York, Tommy DeCarlo’s story is nothing short of inspiring. A lifelong fan of Boston, DeCarlo worked as a credit manager while pursuing his passion for music. His big break came in 2007 when he recorded a tribute song for the late Brad Delp, Boston’s original lead singer, and shared it online. Boston founder Tom Scholz took notice, inviting DeCarlo to perform at a tribute concert for Delp. His performance was so impressive that Scholz offered him the role of Boston’s lead singer—a dream come true.
Since then, DeCarlo has toured worldwide with Boston, delivering powerhouse performances that have captivated audiences. In addition to his role with Boston, DeCarlo formed his own band, DECARLO, alongside his son, Tommy DeCarlo Jr. Their debut album, Lightning Strikes Twice, was released in 2020, blending classic rock sounds with fresh energy.

This March 2023 performance at EPCOT was a highlight of the Garden Rocks series. DeCarlo treated the crowd to an electric set featuring Boston’s fan favorites. With his signature vocal style and engaging stage presence, DeCarlo proved why he’s one of the best voices in rock today.
