From January 12th to 17th in New York City at Rock ‘N’ Roll Fantasy Camp, rock enthusiasts and amateur musicians will have the opportunity to interact with, learn from, jam with and perform alongside their idols as part of the rock camp that became the centerpiece of VH1 Classic’s new series – also called Rock ‘N’ Roll Fantasy Camp.

Roger Daltrey will help Fantasy Camp rock the local economy.

The series debuted October 16th as the most watched series premiere in network history. It has also proved to be beneficial to the local music industry, making frequent use of NYC-based producers, engineers and recording facilities.

Rock ‘N’ Roll Fantasy Camp New York City will feature several of the celebrity counselors from the Mark Burnett-produced VH1 Classic show. Along with special guest counselor Roger Daltrey, Grammy Award-winning producer Phil Ramone, Tommy James, Simon Kirke of Bad Company, Rudy Sarzo of Quiet Riot, Kip Winger of Winger, renowned singer/songwriter Mark Hudson, and many others, will help build the skills of rock hobbyists.

Rock ‘N’ Roll Fantasy Camp was founded by David Fishof in 1997 as the ultimate music experience for the amateur or aficionado, pairing music lovers of all levels together with rock icons for a first-hand immersion in the rock lifestyle.  In the process, camp attendees move from spectator to band member.

The NYC campers will form their own bands; spend over 10 hours a day in-studio jamming and creating original music under the guidance of a famous rock counselor; meet and jam with Roger Daltrey; take a variety of specialized master classes conducted by rock icons; break bread with industry insiders; and play BB King’s in Times Square.

Campers have their choice of three packages: the four-day Rock Star package, and six-day Headliner and Recording Star packages. The most comprehensive package – The Recording Star – includes two extra days of recording time in a renowned studio with a professional engineer, allowing campers to leave with a series of professionally-mixed and produced songs.
