Memphis, TN, April 27, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — VNUE (OTC: VNUE), in conjunction with its strategic partner DiscLive, and legendary CREED vocalist Scott Stapp announced that they are teaming up to give fans unrivaled access to him through “instant recordings” on his upcoming 2017 touring cycle – meaning fans can literally walk out of the concert with what they just heard!
DiscLive, the pioneer in the space of “instant” recording, will offer fans the chance to purchase each night’s show on a limited edition, individually numbered collectors’ double CD set they can take home that night. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of each of the $25 DiscLive recordings will benefit ChildFund International. ChildFund helps deprived, excluded and vulnerable children have the capacity to improve their lives and the opportunity to become young adults, parents and leaders who bring lasting and positive change in their communities.
Memphis music and technology entrepreneur Zach Bair, CEO of VNUE and DiscLive, said, “We are very excited to be working with Scott on this tour, as he celebrates the 20 year anniversary of Creed’s My Own Prison. These intimate acoustic performances will capture the raw power and emotion of this incredible music, and the fans will be able to walk out with a fully mixed and mastered recording of what they just experienced.”
Scott Stapp said, “I’m excited to partner with DiscLive and VNUE for my Live And Unplugged Tour. I think it’s special that fans and concert goers can take home a high quality live recording of the show they just experienced.”
Stapp’s tour kicks off May 11th in Mobile, AL, and this leg will continue through June 20th at RockHouse Live in Memphis, TN. The limited edition CDs sets for each show – currently 23 dates – will be available for pre-order starting May 1 by clicking through www.scottstapp.com, or directly on www.disclivenetwork.com. Since these products are limited edition runs of 500, once they are sold out, there will never be any more produced – so these will be true collectors items. Ticketholders may reserve their copy to be picked up at the show, or fans from around the world may have it shipped directly to them. Later in the year, the VNUE mobile app will be released on the Apple App store and Google Play, and will provide downloads of select recordings, available immediately after shows.
