Have you ever heard of Rock and Roll Fantasy Camp? It’s just what the name suggests…ordinary folk get to play music with their musical idols.
Your “counselor” could be Joe Perry from Aerosmith. It might be Slash, or Ace Frehley. It’s so cool!
This year, Kim Thayil of Soundgarden and Robert and Dean Deleo of Stone Temple Pilots are going to be “counselors” at the ‘A Whole Lotta Rock’ Camp next spring.
It takes place in Los Angeles from March 16-19, 2023 and will also feature Carmine Appice of Vanilla Fudge.
Thayil took to his Twitter to talk about it, saying, “I had such a great time at Rock Camp in February, and I’m super excited to be coming back. Bring your favorite axe, and let’s jam at Rock Camp!”
-Meltdown-
Meltdown started on the mighty WRIF on the evening of Halloween, 1995. Technically, his first on-air shift was the morning of November 1st. Moving to the Motor City from Buffalo, N.Y., he has built a career and family. Over his almost three-decade stint at RIFF, he's had the privilege to work with some of the biggest personalities in Detroit radio history. He boasts of being just the second-afternoon drive jock in the station's illustrious 53-year history.
Along with his love for rock music and attending concerts, he's also an avid Harley-Davidson enthusiast and hockey player. He plays year-round and manages to squeeze in a few charity games throughout the year. Meltdown writes about the Detroit Red Wings, rock music, and Detroit concert venues.
