Downtown Crossing in the heart of Boston is a crossroad of people passing by who may hear musicians play either on the streets above or in MBTA stations below, and is a fitting reminder of the song that begins, "Well we're just a band out of Boston."

The song, Rock and Roll Band, by the band Boston, chronicles the journey of a band to stardom. The song lyrics begin, "Well we're just a band out of Boston..." and, thus, this waymark is in the very city that they named themselves after.
There are so many locations where musicians are publicly practicing their playing and singing, that it is hard to make a choice, here in Boston. There are many small and medium sized clubs where bands play in the area.
Downtown Crossing, centered at the intersection of Washington, Summer and Winter Streets, and is the name of an MBTA T-station - itself a crossing of the Orange and Red Line subway, is one location where musicians can be seen playing for 'donations.'
