Legendary Rockers to Give Musicians and Singers of All Skill Levels the
Chance to Live Out their Rock Star Dreams at the House That Rock Built
CLEVELAND. For any musician or singer who has ever dreamed of
living the life of a rock star, the ultimate chance to make that dream
come true is finally here. Camp Jam Co., a leading producer of music
experience programs that teach teamwork and enrich lives through rock
and roll, announced today that it is teaming up with the Rock and Roll
Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland, Ohio, to present the Ultimate
Rock & Roll Getaway this October 24 - 27.
The
first experience of its kind held at "The House That Rock Built,"
the Ultimate Rock & Roll Getaway will treat rock-loving
musicians and singers of all skill levels, ages 18 and up, to four full
days of the rock star life, including being whisked away in a limousine
the moment they arrive, a four-night stay in a luxury hotel, private
cocktail receptions and dinners, exclusive performances, a VIP guided
tour of the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame and Museum and three days of
learning from and jamming on stage with many of rock and roll's most
celebrated musicians.
Among the celebrity musicians who will serve as counselors and
bandmates for Ultimate Rock & Roll Getaway participants
include: Chuck Leavell (keyboardist for The Rolling Stones), Liberty
DeVitto (drummer for Billy Joel, Stevie Nicks), Rick Derringer (lead
singer/guitarist for The McCoys), Jeff Carlisi (guitarist/founder of 38
Special), Carmine Appice (drummer for Rod Stewart, Jeff Beck and
Vanilla Fudge), Ricky Byrd (guitarist for Joan Jett and the
Blackhearts), Derek St. Holmes (vocalist/guitarist for Ted Nugent),
Jimmy Hall (lead singer/saxophonist/harpist for Wet Willy, HankWilliams
Jr. and Jeff Beck) and Will Turpin (bassist for Collective
Soul).
The Ultimate Rock & Roll Getaway is the chance for anyone who
has ever dreamed of being a rock star to getaway and truly experience
what it is like to live, breathe and play rock and roll 24 hours a day
while also playing a concert in one of rock's most esteemed venues.
It's a rock and roll dream come true at the house that rock built "the
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum," said Jeff Carlisi, co-owner of
Camp Jam Co. "Our all star rockers are eager to share tricks
of the trade, stories from the road and a piece of the stage with
musicians regardless of their experience." For Ultimate Rock &
Roll Getaway participants, the experience begins as soon as they land
in Cleveland, as a limo awaits their arrival at the airport and drives
them to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum for a private
cocktail reception hosted by Terry Stewart, President of The Rock Hall.
Camp Jam's celebrity musicians will then give an intimate, up-close
performance and share candid stories of their careers. On the following
day, participants will reconvene at the off-site rehearsal facilities
to begin working with their bands and the celebrity musicians, who will
serve as personal counselors throughout the experience. On Friday,
October 26, participants will receive specialized instrument
instruction and insider tips from the celebrity counselors and that
afternoon will be guided by Stewart on a rare, behind-the-scenes tour
of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum followed by a special
dinner.
Camp Jam's Ultimate Rock & Roll Getaway culminates on the final
day with a full-blown concert held at The Rock Hall featuring attendees
performing alongside the celebrity musicians. "We are excited to
partner with Camp Jam and some of rock music's most talented musicians
to create a special rock and roll experience for both the serious
musician and novice alike," said Terry Stewart, president and CEO of
the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum. "Together, we will provide a
once in a lifetime event that participants will never forget."
Founded in 2004, the Camp Jam Ultimate Rock & Roll Getaway was
created by Carlisi and business partner Dan Lipson following their
success with the rock 'n roll summer day camp, Camp Jam, which provides
young rockers in 15 cities nationwide the opportunity to hone their
musical chops over the summer months while also learning the ins and
outs of the music business directly from the pros themselves.
Camp Jam's programs for kids and adults are just two of the unique
music-experiences offered by Camp Jam Co, an Atlanta-based company
created by Carlisi and Lipson with the mission of teaching teamwork and
enriching lives through rock 'n roll.
The four-day, getaway experience costs $5,500 and includes hotel
accommodations for four nights, ground transportation, meals, cocktails
at Camp Jam receptions, guided tours of the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame,
Rocker Membership to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, a DVD
of the concert performance, commemorative merchandise and more. For
