Rock ‘N’ Roll Fantasy Camp, the experiential music camp giving fans the opportunity to make their rock star dreams a reality, has announced their second “Women Only” camp featuring Country Music Hall of Fame member and 5x GRAMMY Award winner Wynonna Judd; Lzzy Hale, frontwoman of the GRAMMY-winning hard rock band Halestorm and Gibson’s first female brand ambassador; and Vicki Peterson, lead guitarist of the Multi-Platinum group The Bangles.  “Rock ‘N’ Roll Fantasy Camp: Women Only,” powered by Gibson, runs January 19-22, 2023 in Nashville.  Tickets are available now at https://www.rockcamp.com.

Now celebrating its 25th anniversary, Rock ‘N’ Roll Fantasy Camp has become part of American popular culture – from a Mick Jagger cameo in “The Simpsons” to “Rock Camp – The Movie,” a #1 documentary on iTunes with a 94% score on Rotten Tomatoes chronicling once in a lifetime experiences, Rock ‘N’ Roll Fantasy Camp has built a tradition of extracting ordinary people from their daily lives and giving them the opportunity of a lifetime: to live out their dreams of performing with their musical heroes.

Last year, “Women Only” debuted with Melissa Etheridge, Nancy Wilson (Heart), Kathy Valentine (The Go-Go’s), and Orianthi serving as mentors to a sold-out group of campers ages 13-73 hailing from all over the US, Canada, and Dubai.

“After 39 years in the business, I feel that it's important to pass on what I've learned,” said Judd.  “I look forward to connecting with these women and making ‘herstory!’”

“I’m so incredibly honored to be involved in the second Women Only Rock 'N' Roll Fantasy Camp," said Hale. "I believe it’s so important for women of all ages to experience the power of music, of being on a stage, and the camaraderie of being surrounded by other women who have carved their own path. I hope that some of these girls and women can see themselves reflected in me, and that I can prove that whatever dreams they have are absolutely possible!”

"It is a very powerful and striking statement to see a band of all women together, strong and confident rocking out on a stage,” said Rock ‘N’ Roll Fantasy Camp Musical Director and Vixen guitarist Britt Lightning. “Our first ever Women Only Rock Camp was the most unifying and supportive Camp I have experienced, and I saw everyone from campers to mentors to rock stars really open up and grow, and I cannot wait to see all the amazing women this camp brings together."

Past Rock ‘N’ Roll Fantasy Camp mentors have included Alice Cooper, Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Joe Perry, and Roger Daltrey, who said of his experience, “It's an amazing experience and it makes you remember where you came from."

Additional camp counselors and details are available on the Rock ‘N’ Roll Fantasy Camp site.

Liam St. John, the blues/rock heavy hitter out of Nashville, today released his newest single, “Greyhound Bus Blues,” featuring GRAMMY Award winning bluegrass artist Molly Tuttle. An acoustic video of the song with both Liam and Molly also premiered today on Bluegrass Situation. While the song initially strikes as a high energy, toe-tapping hit, the frank lyrics explore St. John’s journey from Oregon to Nashville, and the demons he may or may not have been running from.

“‘Greyhound Bus Blues’ is a song about coming to terms with the baggage I have and the habits I’ve formed from my life experiences,” said St. John. “I spent my time on this song and I actually re-wrote it a year after it was initially written. It’s a special one to me so I wanted it to feel just right. Johnny Black did an excellent job of capturing the soul of this song sonically. The only thing that could make it better was a feature from a badass bluegrass singin’, flat picking legend from the great state of California. Well we found just that, and her name is Molly Tuttle. She’s world class and salt of the earth, and she gave ‘Greyhound Bus Blues’ so much more life and breadth. I’m so proud of this song and so pleased with our collaboration.”

The new track evokes the free-spirited (yet sometimes troubled) “ramblin’ man” from an era gone by and the addition of Tuttle’s vocals and guitar prowess is the perfect compliment to St. John’s gritty, emotional sound and authentic storytelling.

“I’m a new fan of Liam St John and when I heard ‘Greyhound Bus Blues’ I knew right away that I wanted to sing and play on it,” said Tuttle. “It has everything I love about great songwriting: grit, adventure, and storytelling that is authentic to who Liam is. I’m excited for this track to be out in the world and I hope to get to sing it with Liam at one of his shows sometime!”

“Greyhound Bus Blues” is the second single after the 2024 release of St.John’s debut EP, “Believer,” which “Holler” called “an evocative, rock-tinged anthem that oozes gravitas and atmospheric, weighty verses.” The “Believer” EP dug into St. John’s emotional past, exploring struggles with faith, substance abuse, difficult relationships and more.

St. John’s previous single, “Devil in Disguise,” was the first track to be released from an upcoming collection, and was deeply rooted in authentic, intimate storytelling through an expansive sound with instrumentation nodding to Western blues–harmonica, slide guitar, and haunting harmonies.

Currently on tour through April with ZZ Ward on her “Dirty Sun Tour,” followed by headliner dates in select cities, St. John also recently announced a coveted performance slot at the legendary CMA Fest in June.
