S2 E3: Ed Alstrom, Organist/Singer

On today's episode, Scott interviews his friend, Ed Alstrom, a multi-talented musician, who holds a B.M. degree in Organ Performance from Westminster Choir College, where he studied classical music during the day, while playing jazz, pop and rock gigs at night. A highly sought after organist in the tri-state area, he can play seamlessly in all styles of music, in addition to singing, and playing keyboards. He has performed with artists that include Bette Midler, Chuck Berry, Leonard Bernstein, Blood, Sweat and Tears, various NY Broadway Pit Orchestras, and was a member of the pit band for the Uncle Floyd Show, a NJ/NY tv show that featured sketch comedy and live music. Ed was also a Product/Marketing Manager at Casio Inc., composing/arranging demo songs for their keyboards, while demonstrating products live on stage with legendary musicians Stanley Jordan, Herbie Hancock and Donald Fagen. In the field of religious music, he divides his time between being a church director/organist and Temple accompanist/choir director in NJ. In 2004, Ed fulfilled his childhood dream when he became the weekend organist at Yankee Stadium, and is still entertaining baseball fans in that role with his organ music. This organist, singer, and keyboardist, certainly GOT CHOPS!
