The nationwide tour is coming to a city

A Note From Camp Jam Co-Founder Jeff Carlisi... (Original Guitarist/Songwriter 38 Special)

“I developed the Camp Jam program with input from some of the best musicians in the country, including Liberty De- vitto (drummer for Billy Joel), Jim Peterik (guitar/vocals/ songwriter for Survivor), Chuck Leavell (keyboards for the Rolling Stones), Ed King (guitarist for Lynyrd Skynyrd and recent Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductee) Derek St Holmes (lead vocals/guitar for Ted Nugent) and Brian Howe (lead singer for Bad Company). Whether your young musician is already an advanced player, hasn’t practiced in months or just started playing in the past 6 months, I’m confident that Camp Jam will challenge and nurture them like never before”
