2008 Camp Jam Ready-Set-Rock! Tour In DC This Weekend

DC Area

Young rock stars will be given the chance to play Guitar Hero against real Rock Stars for some serious cash.

Coming to DC this weekend is the Camp Jam and NAMM “Ready-Set-ROCK! Tour.” It's a free, interactive music clinic that will give you a chance to learn from and play against for real rock stars.

The event will kick off with a free music clinic led by Jeff Carlisi, co-founder of Camp Jam and founding member of platinum selling rock band 38 Special.  During the clinic, Jeff and Camp Jam instructors will give you a “backstage” look at what you can expect when attending Camp Jam this summer, offering up music instruction, sharing tricks of the trade, helping hone rock ‘n’ roll chops and teaching you about being in a successful band.

After the clinic comes the Guitar Hero III™ battle. The first 40 people registered will be given the chance to demonstrate their GH3 skills and the five top scorers will compete head-to-head against Jeff for a $100 gift certificate to the music store.

Then, you can show off your for real shredding skills in a Best Rock Solo Contest, with the winner receiving a free week session at Camp Jam this summer in DC. The contest is open to all guitarists, bass players, drummers, keyboardists and vocalists. Instruments will be provided although guitarists and bass players can bring their own instrument if they like.

Anyone who signs-up early for the "Ready-Set-Rock! Tour" online will receive a $5.00 coupon to participating music store and the first 25 will receive a free Camp Jam T-shirt. Walk-ups are welcome, but if you plan to participate in either the Rock Solo Contest and / or the Guitar Hero battle, signing up early is recommended as there will be limited time slots. Sign up at the Camp Jam MySpace Page.
