[edit] Background
John "Sib" Hashian is a drummer who was a member of the rock band Boston during their classic lineup.
[edit] Boston Years
Hashian joined Boston in 1975, replacing original drummer Jim Masdea. Hashian's drumming is featured on Boston's self titled debut album, as well as on the follow up Don't Look Back. Hashian was involved in the early sessions for Boston's Third Stage album, but was later replaced by Masdea, who he himself replaced in 1975.
After leaving Boston, Hashian sued Boston-leader Tom Scholz for back royalties and the two later settled out of court.
[edit] Other Projects & Recent History
Hashian was also the drummer for fellow Boston member Barry Goudreau's self-titled solo album which was released in 1980. The album achieved moderate success with the rock radio hit "Dreams".
Boston and the Barry Goudreau album were the last mainstream projects Hashian worked on. He went on to own a chain of tanning salons in Boston, as well as a small record shop [1]. He occasionally plays gigs in the Boston area with former bandmates, including Goudreau, Fran Sheehan and Brad Delp.
In 2003 he appeared on Sammy Hagar's "Live: Hallelujah" as an unofficial member of the "Waborites".
In 2006 he recorded with Ernie and the Automatics, a band that features Goudreau on guitar.
