Prospect Studios

📣 Shout Out to Indigenous Surf-Rock artist Gladwyn Badger. They recorded this music video with us at Prospect Studios here in Kitchener.

🎶 This is “Rack ’Em Up,” the first single from his upcoming follow-up EP.

🎼 “Rack ’Em Up” is an up-tempo instrumental that blends desert noir influences with surf rock and the double-stop guitar style of Chuck Berry. Gladwyn developed the sound by bouncing ideas off his friend Stephen Ulrich of the New York City based crime jazz trio Big Lazy. “Rack ’Em Up” brings these influences together into something fast, energetic, and fun.

Produced by Marc Merilainen
Engineered by Paul Phelan
Mixed and Mastered by Marc Merilainen at Merilainen Music Inc.
Recorded at Gold Standard Recorders and Merilainen Music Inc., Toronto ON
Original album artwork by Diego Ugaz Garcia

Released via Merilainen Music Inc.

The JAM Club at Prospect Studios — An exclusive club for musicians, offering a unique and invaluable opportunity for all musicians to enhance their jam skills. 🎶🔥

Now welcoming:
🎸 Guitar
🎸 Bass
🥁 Drums
🎤 Vocals
🎹 Piano
🎺 Brass

🎵 The JAM Club @ Prospect Studios offers a unique and invaluable opportunity for all musicians to unleash your creativity and elevate your sound.

✨ ​THE JAM CLUB EXPERIENCE:
​Our JAM Club sessions are one of the best ways to network and build relationships in the music industry and also for those who just simply want to come out and play. Jamming with others is an essential skill that will undoubtedly foster creativity and strengthen improvisation in any musician’s journey, especially when jamming to different musical backgrounds and genres in a live performance setting. And because we offer a wide range of genres at our JAM Club, musicians can experiment with different styles and broaden their musical horizons. Throughout this collaborative process, musicians will not only refine their musicianship by improving their technical and listening skills, but they will also develop a deeper understanding of the language of music.

🎧 WHERE IT'S HAPPENING:
The JAM sessions will be held in our studio located at 446 Prospect Ave. in Kitchener, ON. This space was created by musicians for musicians to create a comfortable, low-pressure environment to experiment and collaborate without worrying about performing for a live audience wanting to be entertained. Our acoustically treated music studio is fully backlined and ready for you to JAM so you can get to what really matters, - the music.

⏰ WHEN:
JAM sessions are every 2nd and 3rd weekend of the month.
- Saturdays: 4-6pm and 7-9pm.
- Sundays: 2-4pm and 5-7pm.
✋The JAM Club sessions are private and only open to members. Learn how to become a member below.

🎶 WHAT TO EXPECT:
First off, no JAM Session is ever the same. Capturing the essence of a JAM Session is hard to put into words. It’s organically spontaneous and unpredictable by nature. It’s the unique synergy felt from the musician’s perspective while jamming with each other in real time. It’s really truly awesome in so many ways. Typically a JAM Session involves everyone taking turns soloing (if you want to) and/or backing each other while playing a wide range of famous slow, medium and fast tempo progressions and also trying each other’s Top 3 JAM Songs. We provide an atmosphere where there’s an unspoken understanding that everyone is there to have a blast while letting their creativity flow freely. It’s an infectious, exhilarating and unforgettable experience that’ll leave you hooked. Ultimately, it's a great way to gain some invaluable insight into different playing techniques, song structures, and creative approaches from diverse musicians.
