Meat Loaf to headline Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy Camp in November
With back-to-school season in full swing, Rock ‘n’ Roll Fantasy Camp is giving music fans the opportunity to learn from some of the most influential artists in the industry.
Multi-Platinum, GRAMMY® award winning rock icon Meat Loaf will headline the November 2009 sessions. One of the most distinctive vocalists in rock history, Meat Loaf has sold over 70 million albums in a career spanning four decades. Bat Out Of Hell – the first album in his legendary trilogy – has alone sold more than 40 million copies, stayed on the charts for over nine years and routinely sells upwards of 200,000 copies annually. Meat Loaf, who has been recording a new album with producer Rob Cavallo (Dave Matthews Band, Green Day), will share some of his wisdom with those attending Rock and Roll Fantasy Camp.
So is the singer nervous about teaching?
He told us. “Oh no, I’m not nervous. I’ve been doing this 42 years, I know what I’m doing. If I went to fantasy law school or fantasy science school, yeah, I’d be in trouble.”
Jon Anderson, lead vocalist for Yes, and lead guitarist Ace Frehley, a founding member of KISS, are two of the very special guest stars slated to appear at the November sessions and many of the camp’s favorite counselors will be returning, including Rami Jaffee (Foo Fighters), Mark Hudson (producer/songwriter, Aerosmith), Elliot Easton (The Cars), Kenny Aronoff (John Fogerty), Danny Seraphine (Chicago), Bruce Kulick (KISS), Rudy Sarzo (Quiet Riot, Ozzy Osbourne), Share Ross (Vixen) and Teddy Andreadis (Guns ‘n’ Roses). Ron Nevison, producer/engineer for The Who, The Rolling Stones and Lynyrd Skynyrd, will be a guest.
“Although I can’t mention him by name, I’m ecstatic to announce that we've secured a legendary guitarist from one of rock’s most renowned bands to come and jam with the campers this November – and perform live with them at the Whisky A Go Go on closing night," says David Fishof, Producer, Rock ‘n’ Roll Fantasy Camp.
Rock ‘n’ Roll Fantasy Camp is offering several options designed to suit a wide range of budgets and schedules – from a three-day camp (November 12-15) and a five-day camp (November 17-22) to the special “Rock Legend” package, which will encompass both camps plus the Rock 'n' Roll Golf Experience. Fans can also sign up for the golf tournament only and campers may bring a spouse with the reasonably priced “Groupie Package.” Financing is available. See below for a recap of new packages that make Rock ’n’ Roll Fantasy Camp more affordable than ever. The camp’s spring 2009 session with special guests Steven Tyler, Duff McKagan, Todd Rundgren and numerous other rock stars sold out, so campers are encouraged to sign up early.
“It was the rock 'n' roll family get-together, the elders of the tribe telling stories and dispensing wisdom, everyone working toward common goals. Truthfully, for this singer/songwriter, it was inspiring,” said an MSN Music editor/producer (who is also a musician) regarding the spring camp. You can check out the full feature at:
http://music.msn.com/fantasy-camp/story/feature/
Since 1997, Rock ’n’ Roll Fantasy Camp has been giving individuals – regardless of their musical ability – a once-a-lifetime opportunity to live like a rock star and jam with their idols. From the opening night party at the Gibson Showroom in Beverly Hills, intensive rehearsals with rock star counselors and jams, master classes and Q&A’s with rock legends to recording an original song at the historic Capitol Studios with legendary engineer/producer Eddie Kramer (Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix) and rocking the Sunset Strip’s Whisky A Go Go in a sold-out, closing night performance – it’s a dream come true for any music fan. Rock ’n’ Roll Fantasy Camp has been covered by the “Today” show, “Good Morning America,” USA Today, The Wall Street Journal, Travel & Leisure and was even featured in an episode of “The Simpsons.”
The first 2010 sessions are also on sale. Rock ‘n’ Roll Fantasy Camp will return to Hollywood, CA over Presidents Day weekend (with a choice of February 10-15 or February 12-15) followed by a session at Abbey Road Studios in London, England May 25th – 31st. To register for any of the sessions or to learn more, visit http://www.rockcamp.com or call 1-888-762-BAND.

Barry Big B Brenner to perform at the Coffee Gallery Backstage
BARRY BIG B BRENNER ...
will play a Special Concert of Traditional and Contemporary COUNTRY BLUES & RAGTIME Music,
performing SOLO on ACOUSTIC 6 String, 12 String and National Resonator Guitars with accompanying Vocals.
Venue: The Coffee Gallery Backstage
www.coffeegallery.com
Date: Friday, November 20th, 2009
Time: 8pm
Admission: $15
Location: 2029 North Lake, Altadena, CA 91001
Phone: (626) 398-7917
“...His music oozes out of the weird American night. Fine, mellow and yet exciting and invigorating, like the most distinct of distilled spirits..." Fellow musicians refer to him as; "Mr. Blues, Rags & Stomps!", that's because Barry Big B Brenner plays the Real Country Folk Blues which originated in the Mississippi Delta, Texas Plains, Piney Woods, Piedmont Seaboard, Louisiana Bayou and of course...Chicago's South Side.
Barry has performed all over the USA; from Alaska to the back woods of the Arkansas Ozarks, out to the California Foothills and many points in-between. He was Born and raised on the legendary South Side of Chicago and is a self-taught singer and acoustic guitar virtuoso. Big B has performed alongside such notables as renowned Blues Guitar Maestro Albert King and Eric Burdon of Animals fame.
Barry now continues the grand American tradition of solo country bluesman and folk music songster. He is a lifelong proponent of Finger-style Guitar picking, mastering the genres of COUNTRY BLUES, RAGTIME and DELTA BOTTLENECK SLIDE.
Big B always features 4 different, totally unique sounding acoustic guitars in his live performance sets. You'll hear 6-String, 12-String & National Resonator Guitars, "the way they were always meant to be played." A Deep Roots Blues Singer, Barry's penetrating vocals evoke the true feeling and meaning behind the expression "Down Home Blues" and revitalizes PRE-ELECTRIC BLUES as a truly original American musical gift to the world.
Barry Big B Brenner's latest CD; "OLD SCHOOL BLUES"
http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/bbbbrenner2
is Americana Roots Music at its finest.
Recorded in May of 2009, it represents what you would likely hear TODAY at one of Big B's impressive LIVE shows. There are several songs played on low strung acoustic 12-String Guitar ("You Don't Know My Mind", "Bye Bye Baby Blues" and the rousing "Step It Up and Go!") as well as some strutting National Resonator Bottleneck Slide Guitar numbers ("Denver Blues" and "I'm Worried"). Be sure to also check out the bawdy story line on the swampy "Silver Street Blues", an original and quite novel Blues tune about the infamous denizens of the Under-The-Hill crowd down in Natchez, Mississippi.
The self-penned instrumentals "Cat Pause" and "Grand Canyon Mules" are just two of the delightful ear candy tracks to be savored. All in all, Big B Brenner's latest digital platter is an enjoyable, eclectic mix of foot tapping, dance floor

Esotouric to offer Halloween tour with LA's white witch Maja
Take A Halloween Bus Adventure with Maja, the White Witch of Los Angeles
WHAT: Esotouric, L.A.'s most eclectic tour company, launches new Halloween bus adventure, the MAJA'S MYSTERIES spiritual history tour
WHEN: Saturday October 31, 12pm-4pm
WHERE: Tour departs from Clifton's Cafeteria at 7th & Broadway downtown
COST: $62/person
MORE: Get a free preview of the tour at Maja's Salon on "Prestidigitation" at the Art Walk on Thursday, 10/8 5:30pm,
http://www.downtownartwalk.com/salon
INFO: http://www.esotouric.com, 323-223-2767
When your business model is taking natives (and a few savvy tourists) deep inside the dark and secret history of their own city, the stakes are especially high come Halloween. For Esotouric's first two Octobers, the bus adventure company took to the road with Crimebo the Clown on a grisly tour of Hollywood crime scenes. But with Crimebo playing San Francisco this year, Esotouric's fans demanded fresh Halloween entertainment.
On Saturday, October 31, a select crew of urban explorers will join Esotouric and their friend Maja D'Aoust, the White Witch of Los Angeles, for MAJA'S MYSTERIES, a metaphysical journey into history, faith and all kinds of magic in the Southland, with in-depth visits to some of the city's most compelling and seldom-seen spiritual sites.
Departing from Downtown's landmark Clifton's Cafeteria, a fanciful 1930s dining environment that looks like a redwood forest, the tour includes guided tours of three fascinating spiritual sites of similar vintage. At each site, Maja will introduce her passengers to members of the faith, lead a tour of the location, and put the group's history and beliefs into context in the histories of religion and Los Angeles.
Stop #1 is the Star Sapphire Lodge in La Crescenta, the local center of the Ordo Templi Orientis (O.T.O), the esoteric fraternal organization and religion that, under the leadership of Aleister Crowley in the early 20th Century, was rededicated to the Law of Thelema, with its twin directives "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law" and "Love is the law, love under will." Discover the fascinating connections between the O.T.O. and manned spaceflight and how English ideas bloomed in the California sun.
Stop #2 is The Gnostic Society of Glendale (established 1928), where for more than 40 years our host Dr. Stephan A. Hoeller, the Bishop of the Ecclesia Gnostica and senior holder of the English Gnostic Transmission in America, has given Friday evening lectures exploring Gnosticism (the secret knowledge of the pre- and early-Christian world) as living religious practice.
Stop #3 is Downtown L.A.'s landmark 1927 Theosophy Hall, which is simultaneously an exquisite architectural time capsule and a thriving center for spiritual study, where all are welcome to explore the wisdom of the ages in leaderless gatherings for which no payment is ever asked.
The tour then returns to Clifton's, where passengers can mingle, snack on retro dessert selections or an early supper, and discuss their experiences on the outskirts of faith.
Tour host Maja D'Aoust says, "The mystery of magic in all its forms lives and breathes in us from the depths of our blood to the tips of our souls. From the Shamans of old to the modern day quantum physicists, the effect of our sheer will on the material world makes up a large part of what defines us as a species. Impacting reality with our consciousness, and conversely, reality's impact upon our consciousness lies at the base of every kind of magic from sympathetic voodoo to thaumaturgy. Making things happen with your mind, whether bringing the rain, healing a disease, invoking a God or prestidigitating an illusion, the art of conscious change is the very heart of the magical mystery of living."
Join us on the MAJA'S MYSTERIES tour for a one-of-a-kind Halloween adventure through the looking glass, and beyond. And get a free, sneak peek at Maja's tour at 5:30pm on October 8, when as part of the Downtown L.A. Art Walk's official Salon series, she leads a discussion of Prestidigitation (stage magic, which has surprising connections to spiritual magic) upstairs at Clifton's Cafeteria.

Discover the fascinating connections between the O.T.O. and manned spaceflight and how English ideas bloomed in the California sun.
Stop #2 is The Gnostic Society of Glendale (established 1928), where for more than 40 years our host Dr. Stephan A. Hoeller, the Bishop of the Ecclesia Gnostica and senior holder of the English Gnostic Transmission in America, has given Friday evening lectures exploring Gnosticism (the secret knowledge of the pre- and early-Christian world) as living religious practice.
Stop #3 is Downtown L.A.'s landmark 1927 Theosophy Hall, which is simultaneously an exquisite architectural time capsule and a thriving center for spiritual study, where all are welcome to explore the wisdom of the ages in leaderless gatherings for which no payment is ever asked.
The tour then returns to Clifton's, where passengers can mingle, snack on retro dessert selections or an early supper, and discuss their experiences on the outskirts of faith.
Tour host Maja D'Aoust says, "The mystery of magic in all its forms lives and breathes in us from the depths of our blood to the tips of our souls. From the Shamans of old to the modern day quantum physicists, the effect of our sheer will on the material world makes up a large part of what defines us as a species. Impacting reality with our consciousness, and conversely, reality's impact upon our consciousness lies at the base of every kind of magic from sympathetic voodoo to thaumaturgy. Making things happen with your mind, whether bringing the rain, healing a disease, invoking a God or prestidigitating an illusion, the art of conscious change is the very heart of the magical mystery of living."
