Camp Jam Rock 'n' Roll Summer Day Camp was featured in the Rocky Mountain News in Denver yesterday and the article is now up online, so head over and give it a read.
Our favorite part of the article is the following:
Taylor Fitzke Googled for a camp and found Camp Jam. He learned some tricks to take back to his regular band, Manipulated Living. "I learned stuff that can contribute to my band when I get home - how to give the audience a better show, how to sustain your guitar-playing."
We definitely like to see this kind of thing because the idea for camp is to get you guys comfortable playing iin a band and on stage and taking those lessons back to your own bands at home.
Anyway, check out this video of The Anonymous performing "Knocking on Heaven's Door" at Camp Jam Cleveland for the Friday Night Concert held at The Boneyard Grille.
MusicCleveland.com featured the Camp Jam Ultimate Rock & Roll Getaway on their site this week. Of course, Cleveland is the home to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, or "The House That Rock Built, which is where this once-in-a-lifetime adult Rock Camp experience will be held.
The Ultimate Rock & Roll Getaway is for musicians and singers of ALL SKILL LEVELS, ages 18 and up. As part of the package you will experience four full days of the rock star life, including being whisked away in a limousine the moment you arrive, a four-night stay in a luxury hotel, private cocktail receptions and dinners, exclusive performances, a VIP guided tour of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum and three full 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).

Camp Jam Rock 'n' Roll Summer Day Camp was featured in the DC Examiner last Friday. A reporter and photographer headed out to the Rockville Jewish Community Center to talk to some kids and grab some pics of them rockin' out. In the article, Jeff Carlisi had this great quote about the rock music camp:
“It’s the ultimate team-building experience, more so even than team sports,” he said. “When you take the stage, you count to four and the game begins. But if anyone on that team drops the ball, you’re done.”
Head over and read the article.
Tomorrow is a huge new music release day. Well, it is for us anyway. So, to get a head start here is a video of Jeremy Enigk singing "How it Feels to Be Something On". His third solo album drops tomorrow!!
We got these pics in courtesy of Ellen Watson Photography. Her son went to Camp Jam Chicago and she snapped these pics of the Friday Night Concert.
If you guys have any pictures or video of you jamming at the rock music camp, send it in to us and we'll post it here.
