About Jeff Neal

  • Jeff Neal (born June 15, 1969) is a drummer and vocalist best known for his affiliation with classic rock band Boston from 2002 to present.
  • Prior to joining Boston and after graduating from the University of Maine at Farmington with a Bachelor of Science in Secondary Education, Neal (who is originally from Maine) performed for over 15 years in a wide variety of bands touring throughout New England, primarily playing small clubs and venues.
  • In late 2002, while Boston leader Tom Scholz was vacationing in Maine, he saw Neal play at Sunday River Ski Resort with his then-current band, Punchbug.
  • After introducing himself between sets, Scholz offered Neal an audition.
  • Soon afterward, Neal was offered the position as the group's touring drummer and background vocalist.
  • He performed with the band on its 2003 Corporate America tour, its 2004 Boston Returns tour and its 2008 tour alongside fellow classic rockers Styx.
  • Other appearances with the band include various one-offs performing Boston's version of "The Star-Spangled Banner"; at Fenway Park prior to the 2003 ALDS Game 3 matchup between the Boston Red Sox and the Oakland Athletics; and at Gillette Stadium in January 2004 prior to the sub-zero wind-chill playoff game between the New England Patriots and the Tennessee Titans.
  • He also appeared with the group in late 2006 at Symphony Hall in Boston, accompanied by members from the Boston Pops Orchestra for Doug Flutie Day.
