Last week at the Hollywood FAME Awards, the Camp Jam Allstars were the recipients for the award for "Musical Education."
The FAME awards began in 1991 when Alfred C. Bowman honored a request from the Godfather of Rock 'n' Roll Bill Gazarri to fulfill his dream of having an award ceremony that would help unite the independent rock music scene. Sixteen years later, that dream is still being fulfilled and the Camp Jam Allstars were honored to have their holiday song "Money In A Card" be a part of that.
The ceremony took place at the legendary Whiskey A-Go-Go club in Los Angeles and performers included UFOetry and Jessica Amaro.
Congrats to the Allstars for this award!
Don't forget to check out the video:
Camp Jam Allstars guitarist Matt Ernst (top center) was featured in an article in the Opelika-Auburn News about the new single "Money In a Card."
Apparently, he is getting some notoriety from the exposure at school and is occasionally being asked for his autograph. There's a quote from Matt about that in the article:
"It’s a great feeling to know that a song I’ve performed is on iTunes," said Ernst, who’s been playing guitar about four years. "It’s great to hear kids come up to me at school and say ‘Hey, that Money In a Card thing is really cool.’ "
The song is absolutely blowing up as more and more people here about it. We're not gonna pretend that it's gonna sell out on iTunes, mainly because that would be impossible to do with a digital track, but you should jump on the bandwagon now so that you can say that you heard it first. Just sayin'.
If you haven't seen the video for the Camp Jam Allstars christmas song yet, here it is:
