CHICAGO (PRWEB) November 24, 2017
Altered Stage, the only private club for recreational musicians of all skill levels, has released its third studio recording through its Altered Records label. The full-length album, Volume III, features seven original songs written by Chicago-area business and science professionals. Altered Stage has previously released two albums: Be and Expressions. All three releases are available on most major digital music store sites, and channels such as iTunes, Amazon and Spotify.
“Our third album is another example of how our members leave their day jobs behind and, with the support of our instructors, are achieving their musical goals such as creating their own music,” said Jeff Bergau, founder of Altered Stage. “It showcases some of the talented people who make Altered Stage such a unique and dynamic community. All seven original tracks were case studies in collaboration between Altered Stage members, and reflect the diversity, creativity and courage that defines Altered Stage. We’re proud to make this music available for the world to experience.”
Located in Chicago’s West Loop neighborhood, Altered Stage is a unique private club that gives a complete and perpetual music experience to recreational musicians of all skill levels. The company’s goal is to create and foster a vibrant community of like-minded individuals who share a passion for making music and enhancing their personal and professional creativity. The club provides ongoing music instruction, holds regular jam sessions, monthly gigs at known Chicago venues such as Reggie’s Music Joint, and works with members to write and publish music.
“So many times, in my life, I've picked up my guitar and had visions of one day sharing my music with the world,” said Tom Jackson, a Chicago-based financial executive, who participated in the recording sessions. “I always wanted to write music but always found some lame excuse not to do it. Then, Altered Stage came along. I now had a drum instructor that helped me find my rhythm; I had a guitar instructor that could pick up a bass and fill in my riffs. I now had reasons to get it done. So, we got it done. Now, I have a few songs for the world to hear - songs I wrote and on which I sang and played guitar and drums. My songs. Pretty freaking awesome!”
