about

In the spirit of some of the greatest live albums of all time (well, mostly "live" albums...), "All The World is Staged" is a rollicking EP of classic-sounding rock, with energetic "live" songs presented as Sides "A" and "B", like classic vinyl. Side B ("For Pete's Sake") includes a tribute to the "Honorary Member of San Francisco Society", Mr. Peter Frampton.

credits

released September 29, 2021

All songs composed, played, and mostly programmed by Stephen McNamara, with occasional yet invaluable saxophone wrangling and horn programming by Trefor Ward of Hamilton, New Zealand, along with his all-important cowbell suggestion. Mixed and mastered by Stephen McNamara at SignatureTunes Studios.

Additional credit and great thanks to Trefor for co-creating the album cover encouraging the artifice that this album was recorded live, let alone at The Hollywood Bowl.
