NYC Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy Camp

 —  —

NYC Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy Camp, NYC, NY

Now celebrating our 30th Anniversary, we’re excited to offer campers the opportunity to jam with legendary guitarist and Dave Davies, co-founder of The Kinks. Imagine performing the biggest Kinks classics alongside Dave himself including “You Really Got Me,” “Waterloo Sunset,” “Lola,” “Tired of Waiting for You,” and “Come Dancing.”

Campers will also jam with Simon Townshend of The Who and perform iconic Who anthems like “Won’t Get Fooled Again,” “Baba O’Riley,” “Pinball Wizard,” “Who Are You,” and “Behind Blue Eyes” at the final show at the legendary The Cutting Room in front of family and friends.

On top of that, campers will perform a second live show on Friday night celebrating the music of Billy Joel with legendary drummer Liberty DeVitto. Liberty played on Billy’s biggest hits and appears in the latest HBO documentary on Billy’s incredible career. Imagine performing songs like “Piano Man,” “You May Be Right,” “Only the Good Die Young,” “Big Shot,” and “My Life” with the drummer who helped create those classic records.

And if that’s not enough, campers will have the opportunity to jam the timeless music of The Band with Amy Helm, daughter of legendary drummer and vocalist Levon Helm. Amy performed and toured with Levon during the final years of his career at the famous Barn shows in Woodstock. Campers will celebrate classics like “The Weight,” “Up on Cripple Creek,” “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down,” and “Ophelia.”

In addition, you’ll be mentored by Rock Camp’s top counselors - including NYCs own Jeff Slate - while enjoying master classes, jam rooms, Q&A sessions, and unforgettable live performances throughout the weekend.

This fall, don’t miss this once-in-a-lifetime Rock ‘n’ Roll Fantasy Camp experience as we celebrate 30 incredible years of making rock and roll dreams come true.
