Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler has announced that he will headline this year’s Rock ‘N’ Roll Fantasy Camp, and has donated a swag of memorabilia to be auctioned for charity.
The singer will join Duff McKagan from Guns n’ Roses and Velvet Revolver, Todd Rundgren, Toto's Steve Lukather, Bruce Kulick from Kiss, Alan White from Yes, and Elliot Easton from The Cars at the event that allows fans to perform alongside veteran musicians and learn their tricks of the trade.
The closing event will include a massive concert at LA’s Whiskey A Go Go, where Tyler will auction off autographed items to benefit MusiCares, a charity that provides critical assistance for music people in times of need. The charity focuses the resources and attention of the music industry on human service issues that directly impact the health and welfare of the music community, and provide services and resources that cover a wide range of financial, medical and personal emergencies.
The Rock n Roll Fantasy Camp runs from April 29 to May 3 and gives attendees the chance to rehearse daily with iconic Rock Star counselors, write and record their own original song, play live at the Whisky A Go Go on the Sunset Strip, record at the world famous Capitol Studios (designed by Les Paul) in the Capitol Records building, and live like a rock ‘n’ roll star. More info can be found here.
American Express Travel is offering its Gold cardmembers a vacation package to the Camp that will allow them benefits and access other attendees will not have: for more information, see americanexpress.com/goldtravel or call 1-866-297-9491.
