Alec Feldges
Alec Feldges is a classical guitarist, composer, and music educator who’s, “...depth of musical sensitivity is allied with technical clarity, coupled with warmth and generosity.” (Ken Sugita, Violinist French National Orchestra-Lille). A winner of the 2016 MU Emerging Artist Competition, Alec has performed solo concerts throughout the U.S., Canada, and Europe. He gave his international debut in 2015 when he was invited to perform and give master-classes as a guest artist at the Zobel Gitarrenschule in Bad Nauheim Germany, and his performance at The Benton Club in St. Joseph Missouri was critically acclaimed to be “a highlight of the concert season, [and] a resounding success” (President, Missouri Music Hall of Fame).
Alec received his Bachelor in Music from the University of Missouri where he attended as an Evans Scholar studying under Prof. Anthony Glise. He completed his Masters in Guitar Performance from McGill University in Montreal, QC, where he studied with world-renowned guitarist Jerome Ducharme. Additionally, throughout his formal years, he attended and performed in countless master-classes taking lessons from some of the world’s leading guitarists including David Russell, Jason Vieaux, David Leisner, Jorge Morel, and Martha Masters.
Beyond performances, Alec is also a dedicated teacher, and has accumulated over 10 years of experience as music educator. He currently holds teaching positions at The Old Town School Of Folk Music, North Shore Music, and Arpeggiato, within the Chicago area. With passion and dedication, Alec is devoted to bringing inspiration to both his students and his audience members alike through sharing his knowledge and love of music.
Rigged Game
As a working rat caught in the gears of corporate America, Casey Rand feels the sense of urgency and claustrophobia that can only come from chasing cheese day in and out. When not contemplating imminent mortality he uses guitar, piano, and vocals to explore the space between life and death, love and loss, truth and fiction. After-hours he ventures forth from a Mountain Dew fortress of his own making, and can be found on the streets of Chicago playing for himself, the birds, and rarely other rats. Occasionally humorous in his approach we find subtle hints about humanity’s upcoming demise through self-proclaimed hits like Space Dinos, Seasonal Depressive Disorder, and Something Weird. Ultimately he has landed on the conclusion that everything is rigged.
During his time in Chicago he released his first EP, titled Thorns and Roses. He hopes to expand this to a full album alongside other projects like Quicksand (featuring older works) and Record (newest song). He has opened several shows and looks forward to travelling the East Coast this summer.
