Boston Rock Veterans Unite: Myaero Maes To Release All-Star Debut Album
Featuring members of Boston, Aerosmith, and The J. Geils Band, 'Keep It Simple' bridges generations of local rock history.

Two definitive pillars of the Greater Boston music scene, Jeff Myerow and Brian Maes, have officially joined forces for a new collaborative project under the name Myaero Maes. Their debut album, Keep It Simple, is set for release on May 19, promising a blend of 1970s and ’80s classic rock sensibilities infused with a modern energy.
The project is more than just a new record; it is a time capsule of Boston’s rich musical lineage. The album features a "who’s who" of local legends, including Barry Goudreau, Peter Wolf, Charlie Farren, and the late, legendary Brad Delp.
“This is something we could’ve played on WBCN back in the day—and today it still fits right alongside classic rock staples,” says Myerow. “With everyone involved, Brian and I used to joke: we’re not making a record, we’re making history.”
