I'm
very excited to premier our new newsletter and to announce our talent
lineup for the November 2009 camps, and I know you’ll be excited to
hear the news: Meat
Loaf, Jon
Anderson, and Ace
Frehley have signed on to be our headliners! And,
we’ve got more options for you this time around. For the first time
in Rock and Roll
Fantasy Camp history, our November Los Angeles camps will come
in two sizes: a 3-1/2 day camp (happening November 12-15) as well as the
traditional 51/2-day camp (happening November 17-22).
Our
31/2-day camp will feature the one-and-only original KISS guitarist, Ace
Frehley. Not only is his trademark black-white-and-silver facepaint one of
the most recognizable images in rock history, he is the only axeman who has
played on every major KISS album. In addition to his history-making
work with KISS, Ace has a successful solo career and is currently putting
the final touches on his next album, Anomoly,
set to be released in September. Those of you who choose the 31/2-day
camp will meet the legendary guitarist (along with many other rockstars),
record at Capitol Studios, and perform on the Sunset Strip at the legend
Whisky A Go Go.
Our
51/2-day camp will also feature one of the greatest rock and roll characters
of all time, Meat Loaf! The artist behind "Paradise by The
Dashboard Light," Bat
Out of Hell I, II, and
III, and has appeared in movies such as The Rocky Horror Picture Show
and Fight Club
will be making his first appearance at Rock ‘n’ Roll Fantasy
Camp. The 51/2-day campers will also meet Ace Frehley and the legendary
voice of Yes, Jon Anderson. Also, a surprise guest who helped to make
the Whisky A Go Go
famous will jam and perform with campers at the final show.
Both
camps will feature an amazing lineup of Rock ‘n’ Roll Fantasy
Camp counselor favorites including guitarist icons Elliot Easton (The
Cars), Bruce Kulick (KiSS), Share Ross (Vixen), and Rudy Sarzo (Quiet
Riot). Luminary drummers Kenny Aronoff, Sandy Gennaro (Bo Diddley)
and Danny Seraphine (Chicago); superstar keyboardist Teddy Andreadis (Guns
N’ Roses) and Rami Jaffee (Foo Fighters/The Wallflowers) are all
returning to lead our camper bands. The counselor lineup will also include
Ron Nevison (prod/eng – The Who/Rolling Stones) and our very own Mark
Hudson (prod/songwriter – Aerosmith). Campers will get to jam
with all of our counselors!
Rock
‘n’ Roll Fantasy Camp will also celebrate the 40th anniversary
of Led Zeppelin during camp. At Capitol
Studios, campers will record with Eddie Kramer, the producer
and engineer behind five of Led Zeppelin’s greatest albums.
All
of us here at Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy Camp would like to wish Steven Tyler a
speedy recovery! We also send our condolences to Les Paul's family,
after his recent passing.
As
you can see, November is shaping up to be a historical month in Rock
‘n Roll Fantasy Camp history. There are a limited number of spots
open for the upcoming sessions. To register, please visit
www.rockcamp.com or call 888.762.2263. Financing and payment plans are
available. Live the dream!
Warmest Regards,
David Fishof

Testimonial

“I
haven't shut up about this incredible experience -- as a matter of fact,
I haven't stopped talking to my colleagues as well as with a few of our
corporate clients -- and I'll continue talking about this for a long time
to come. This really was an amazing experience for me, both personally as
well as professionally...I was able to totally see the teambuilding, the
motivation, the bonding, the creativity, all firsthand -- all the things
that I think companies are looking for today...You've got something
really special here and I know I'll be singing the praises of Rock 'n
roll Fantasy Camp for a very long time. ”

Director of Entertainment Services, Drury Design

Meat
Loaf
|
|
The
artist also known as Michael Aday (born Marvin Aday) is an entity that
transcends classification: he's a movie star, a larger-than-life
personality, and a brilliant musician. Meat Loaf has sold over 70 million
albums worldwide in a career spanning four decades, and is about to add
to that tally with a forthcoming record that has him collaborating with
Green Day and Dave Matthews Band producer, Rob Cavallo.

Memorabilia
|
|
When it comes to bass players, few can be
placed in the same class as Jack Bruce and when it comes
to classic British Rock, few bands can be named in the same sentence as
Cream. This incredibly cool Jim Deacon blue bass guitar, is not only
signed by Bruce, but also the legendary bass player Bill Wyman
of the Rolling Stones! As our featured piece of memorabilia, this bass
– signed by both artists at our London 2007 camp - is specially
priced at $999. Please call the RRFC office at 888.762.2263 if you
are interested in purchasing a piece of signed memorabilia.
