Born in Peabody, Massachusetts, Delp’s musical interest began at the age of thirteen when he bought a guitar after seeing a Beatles performance on The Ed Sullivan Show. In 1970, he made heating elements for “Mr. Coffee” machines in the company of Danvers “Hot-Watt” when he met Boston founder Tom Scholz, guitarist Barry Goudreau and drummer Jim Masdea while playing in a cover band.
Delp was audited as lead singer for the band Boston and got the job immediately. He also contributed as a supporting voice, on guitar and keyboard, in the albums of this band, in addition to also playing harmonica. His partnership with guitarist Tom Scholz led to a series of hit songs.
