This year’s theme will be Nashville, Tennessee!
Nashville, TN is Music City U.S.A. and home to Country and Western music. Our campers this year will learn about artists who recorded music in Nashville, TN like Dolly Parton, Patsy Cline, Johnny Cash, Charley Pride, Elvis, and will learn how to write their own hit country song and perform it for you!
In addition to our Summer Camps I’m planning a 3 O’Clock Rock Family Tour to Nashville, TN for July 25th-30th.
We will be visiting the Grand Ole Opry, The Ryman Theater, record in RCA studio B (where Elvis recorded Hound Dog), and play a live show with some local Nashville bands. I invite you to come along with us!
