The interactive Masterclass series allows musicians and music enthusiasts to learn from and speak with artists from the comfort of their own homes. Attendees spend 60-90 minutes with the artists, hear intimate stories, and ask at least one question directly to the artist. Attendance for certain classes is limited to 25 attendees. RRFC Masterclasses are for anyone who loves music and/or songwriting, guitar, bass, drumming, keyboards, recording and producing, from beginners to pros. The artists cover technical tips, personalized career advice, stories from the road, techniques on their specialties and more.
Founded by industry veteran David Fishof in 1997, Rock ‘n’ Roll Fantasy Camp has had rock legends Roger Daltrey, Alice Cooper, Paul Stanley, Steven Tyler, Slash, and more teaching and jamming with the campers over four days. In pre-COVID19 times, a live performance was held at a famous venue. RRFC donates portions of its profits to Roger Daltrey’s Teen Cancer America charity, and many artists donate proceeds directly to their favorite charities as well: Humane Society, Maui Food Bank, UnitedOutreach.org, Solid Rock Foundation, and more.
