The Story of Deceived (The Album)

Musical artist Alan Arena, had two top 10 New England albums before moving away to become a caregiver for his best friend Lizbeth, a veteran with Huntington’s Disease.  He thought performing original music might no longer be in his future.  But when a new venue The Music Room opened on Cape Cod, Alan checked out the club and it turned out to be the break he never found in Boston.  Grammy Award-winning producer and guitarist Paul Nelson, who played with Johnny Winter for 14 years was a partner at the venue.  When they met, Paul asked Alan to play a couple of his songs, impressed they began working together at the club.  He offered to play guitar and produce Alan’s next album, Paul also co-wrote the title track “Deceived.”

ALAN ARENA

Alan Arena has been writing songs since 1978.  At age seventeen, he didn’t even know his first song “Doing 110 at 3AM” was influenced by Chuck Berry or the blues.  Alan’s journey into the blues and music went even deeper when he found out that an Eric Clapton recording “Crossroads” was actually written by Robert Johnson.  At that time Alan decided to dive deeper into the study of American music.

Why is there a difference in price for available seats at The Music Room?

All seating at The Music Room is acquired with a first come, first served basis approach.  The Music Room provides all patrons with a live musical experience above and beyond your average concert hall, and supporting this vision are the 4 tiers of available seats at The Music Room.  With a nod to classic record sales certification, the 4 tiers are:  Diamond, Double Platinum, Platinum, and Gold.  Seats range in price based on several factors including artist availability and distance to the stage.

Do you have the same number of seats for each tier?

No.  The Diamond tier of seats only has 12 seats available.  These seats are 4 top rounds located right at the foot of the stage.  You cannot get any closer to the artist than these 12 seats.  These are considered premium seats and are usually purchased by the most ardent fans.

The Double Platinum sections features 4 top square tables and one special 2 top rectangle, and there are 14 seats available.  Still very close to the stage, these seats provide an exceptional view and personal experience.  Table no. 7 is a 2 top rectangle that sits just to the right of the stage and back approximately 6 feet.  It is an extremely popular table.

The Platinum section of seats has a mixture of 4 top squares, two 3 high top rounds, and 9 drink rail seats that are bar height.  The total number of seats in the Platinum section is 37.  These are all excellent seats and reside in the main room.  Depending on a viewer’s personal taste, a table, a high top, or a drink rail might be the right choice, but they are all fabulous and unobstructed.

Gold seating is available in the bar area and can be considered first come, first serve general admission.  Most of the seats are unobstructed but depending how patrons sit at the bar or high tops, there might be a slight obstruction.   Standing room is permitted in the Gold section. The sound is excellent and most Gold level tickets are purchased by patrons that want to be near the bar specifically or by patrons wanting to be further away from the stage by design.  Please refer to our pictures to determine if this area is what you are looking for.  There are only several seats available and mostly Standing Room.

PLEASE READ OUR SEATING CHART EXPLANATION.  GOLD TICKETS OR GENERAL ADMISSION TICKETS (GA) HAVE LIMITED SEATING (FIRST-COME, FIRST SERVE IN THE BAR AREA) WITH THE REMAINDER STANDING ROOM ONLY.

*TICKET DISCLAIMER:  The Music Room has a NO REFUND POLICY.  In the event of a cancellation/reschedule, The Music Room will always honor the purchased ticket for the same seat and same artist at the original price.  If a show is cancelled and not rebooked, ticket holder will be issued a credit towards any future show/event at The Music Room.  Ticket holder assumes all risks, hazards, and dangers.  Event subject to change.  No ticket required for entry.  Please bring I.D*
