Five years ago I was passing through the Faneuil Hall area in Boston with my two boys, Jack and Dan, who were 10 and 7 years old, respectively, at the time. Jack particularly enjoyed the various street performers we saw, and as we walked away from one musical act, Jack asked, "Can I do that?" Of course, Dan chimed in and said, "Hey, I want to do that, too!"Just like that, the idea was born, and as crazy as it sounded at first, the idea grew. Music has always been a big part of my life. In fact, I had been in a family band when I was the same age as my sons. The boys had taken music lessons for years and seemed to enjoy the opportunity to perform. After further reflection, we began to see it as a fun, creative family activity. Of course, it is one thing to play music together as a family and another thing entirely to busk on the street. I felt a little uncomfortable about it but thought that if we were going to do it, we ought to have a meaningful reason for doing so. We were discussing it at dinner one night when my husband joked that we should call the group the "College Fund Band". We all laughed for awhile, but the name stuck!After three years of playing in Harvard Square, we auditioned for Faneuil Hall and made it into their street performer program. We are now in our second year at Faneuil Hall and featured most Thursdays (times vary-check our showtimes) for the SOUNDS OF SUMMER MUSIC FEST (through Sept. 23rd). Jack (now 15), and Dan (age 12), take charge of running the show while also writing new songs and creating new music videos. We are now playing clubs, arenas, and special events in addition to our gigs at Faneuil Hall. Our debut album "CFB" comes out August 15th. I would like to say a special "Thank You" to all of our fans, especially in Cambridge and Boston, but also from around the world. We meet so many wonderful people every day who are so excited about what we are doing and always asking for "more". Thank you!
