New York (Top40 Charts/ Rock Fantasy Camp) - With back-to-school season in full swing, Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy Camp is giving music fans the opportunity to learn from some of the most influential artists in the industry.
Multi-Platinum, GRAMMY award winning rock icon Meat Loaf will headline the November 2009 sessions. One of the most distinctive vocalists in rock history, Meat Loaf has sold over 70 million albums in a career spanning four decades. Bat Out Of Hell - the first album in his legendary trilogy - has alone sold more than 40 million copies, stayed on the charts for over nine years and routinely sells upwards of 200,000 copies annually. Meat Loaf, who has been recording a new album with producer Rob Cavallo (Dave Matthews Band, Green Day), will share some of his wisdom with those attending Rock and Roll Fantasy Camp. So is the singer nervous about teaching? He told us. "Oh no, I'm not nervous. I've been doing this 42 years, I know what I'm doing. If I went to fantasy law school or fantasy science school, yeah, I'd be in trouble."
Jon Anderson, lead vocalist for Yes, and lead guitarist Ace Frehley, a founding member of KISS, are two of the very special guest stars slated to appear at the November sessions and many of the camp's favorite counselors will be returning, including Rami Jaffee (Foo Fighters), Mark Hudson (producer/songwriter, Aerosmith), Elliot Easton (The Cars), Kenny Aronoff (John Fogerty), Danny Seraphine (Chicago), Bruce Kulick (KISS), Rudy Sarzo (Quiet Riot, Ozzy Osbourne), Share Ross (Vixen) and Teddy Andreadis (Guns 'n' Roses). Ron Nevison, producer/engineer for The Who, The Rolling Stones and Lynyrd Skynyrd, will be a guest.
"Although I can't mention him by name, I'm ecstatic to announce that we've secured a legendary guitarist from one of rock's most renowned bands to come and jam with the campers this November - and perform live with them at the Whisky A Go Go on closing night," says David Fishof, Producer, Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy Camp.
Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy Camp is offering several options designed to suit a wide range of budgets and schedules - from a three-day camp (November 12-15) and a five-day camp (November 17-22) to the special "Rock Legend" package, which will encompass both camps plus the Rock 'n' Roll Golf Experience. Fans can also sign up for the golf tournament only and campers may bring a spouse with the reasonably priced "Groupie Package." Financing is available. See below for a recap of new packages that make Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy Camp more affordable than ever. The camp's spring 2009 session with special guests Steven Tyler, Duff McKagan, Todd Rundgren and numerous other rock stars sold out, so campers are encouraged to sign up early.
Since 1997, Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy Camp has been giving individuals - regardless of their musical ability - a once-a-lifetime opportunity to live like a rock star and jam with their idols. From the opening night party at the Gibson Showroom in Beverly Hills, intensive rehearsals with rock star counselors and jams, master classes and Q&A's with rock legends to recording an original song at the historic Capitol Studios with legendary engineer/producer Eddie Kramer (Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix) and rocking the Sunset Strip's Whisky A Go Go in a sold-out, closing night performance - it's a dream come true for any music fan. Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy Camp has been covered by the "Today" show, "Good Morning America," USA Today, The Wall Street Journal, Travel & Leisure and was even featured in an episode of "The Simpsons."
The first 2010 sessions are also on sale. Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy Camp will return to Hollywood, CA over Presidents Day weekend (with a choice of February 10-15 or February 12-15) followed by a session at Abbey Road Studios in London, England May 25th - 31st.
