Set for February 23-28 at a variety of locations throughout the Los Angeles music community, the acclaimed musical adventure takes attendees through grueling and joyful days like those of their favorite musicians. Each day a new thrilling challenge exists for the “rock campers” from the audition process, to forming bands, writing and recording music and finally culminating in a “battle of the bands” concert at a legendary Los Angeles venue.
The participants are led through day-long sessions by some of the best in the music business. Already onboard to mentor the rock campers: Bret Michaels (Poison), Ace Frehley (KISS), Michael Anthony (Van Halen/Chickenfoot), Mark Farner (formerly of Grand Funk Railroad), Lita Ford (The Runaways), Lemmy Kilmister (Motorhead), Dave Mason (Traffic), Kip Winger (Winger), Bruce Kulick (KISS), Gary Hoey (solo artist), Teddy Andreadis (Guns N’ Roses), Mark Hudson (producer, songwriter–Aerosmith), Spike Edney (Queen), Sandy Gennaro (Joan Jett/Pat Travers Band), Jeff Foskett (Beach Boys), Rami Jaffee (Foo Fighters), Rudy Sarzo (Quiet Riot/Ozzy) and Richie Kotzen (solo artist).
All the while, Mark Burnett Productions will be on hand filming a four-episode, one-hour series that will air this July on VH1 classic. The new, hour-long, weekly docu-series will feature 15 musicians from a variety of backgrounds and cities as they go through the transformative process of becoming “rock stars.”
“ROCK ‘N’ ROLL FANTASY CAMP has been changing the lives of non-professional music lovers for years,” says CAMP founder David Fishof, “and the rock & roll legends who mentor them also wind up inspired by the interactions.”
