PRESS RELEASE
Street Arts Project, a local community group in Stratford upon Avon, will be self-releasing their third album, ‘Recovery’ on September 1st .
Street Arts Project is a non-profit charity that works with vulnerable adults and those with lived experience of homelessness in the Stratford upon Avon area and was set up by Jackie Lines and Doug Armstrong.
The lyrics for all the songs were written by participants at Street Arts Project workshops, developed through conversation and sharing amongst the group and reflecting their experiences and viewpoints. The words and performances recorded also reflect the friendships and fun that these sessions have nurtured.
The album will feature 10 songs, collaboratively written by the group in workshops settings, led by songwriters and musicians Jack Blackman and Wes Finch, collaborating with Katherine Abbott, Jono Wright and Geoff Carr.
The first single from the album will be the title track Recovery, which reflects the questions and struggles we all have on our personal journeys through life.
On September 2nd SA Project will launch the album with a (free) concert at The Playhouse Theatre in Stratford, a venue which has been supportive of the project. The night will feature live music from Jen Waghorn, Karl Wheeler and the Street Arts Band and group members singing and playing their work.
The overall project has been funded by Stratford Town Trust.
