“STURGIS IN STYLE” – BRING A BUDDY AND HAVE THE V.I.P. CONCERT EXPERIENCE OF A LIFETIME!

ROCKITSESSIONS started when successful record producer and noted session drummer Marc Jordan had a request from a recording artist to include a guitar solo from Slash on a track they were working on in the studio.

At this time, Marc had just finished working in the studio on demos with Velvet Revolver.  He sent the MP3 of the song to Slash and Slash dug it.   The two worked together and came up with a way to make it happen.  Arrangements were made and Slash came into the studio, played for a few hours and then hung for another hour or two.   It was fantastic.

It suddenly came to Marc that he should set up similar events and experiences similar to this for people who may not be in the industry to enjoy.

Ironically, the track resulting from the session with Slash’s solo was recently re-released and is currently charting on Billboard.

His target audience may include anyone that may be considered “rock stars” in their respective industries to up and coming musicians that dream of doing a recording session with a rock star to big fans of a performer or group that would like a true VIP experience.

ROCKITSESSIONS has been giving clients exclusive, once in a lifetime opportunities to get into a major recording studio with a famous rock star to jam and/or record music or simply watch them play in a private setting.  

Marc has decided to take ROCKITSESSIONS on the road and offer a truly one of a kind experience called “Sturgis In Style”, an exclusive, high end rock star luxury experience with one-of-a-kind VIP perks at one of the biggest events of the year that features VIP tickets to The Cult and Buckcherry on August 3 and The Black Crowes on August 4.  

                                                                       

Marc explained what the package includes and it is quite impressive.

“You and a buddy fly in from wherever on Friday, August 2.   You’re picked up by a sedan/limo and taken to a top hotel.  Over the next two days, you driven to and from Sturgis for the rally, where you’ll have VIP access at The Buffalo Chip and The Broken Spoke Campground.  You can come and go as you please and everything is taken care of, including food and drinks.   The shows begin later in the day.   In addition to having an amazing time watching the bands play, you’ll get to hang out before, during and after the event with super VIP benefits that would otherwise be far out of reach for anyone else.”

With ROCKITSESSIONS’s connections in the industry and involvement with members of The Cult , Velvet Revolver, and tons of other bands, this is ideal for those musicians and fans that want to meet, play music, hang out, and/or record with major rock stars.   

And with an added bonus of enjoying convenient air travel to Rapid City and ground transportation while there, deluxe hotel accommodations, meet and greets with rock stars, and other entertainment, it’s an experience you couldn’t get anywhere else. 

With his direct access to world famous musicians and multitude of connections, contacting major artistic talent in rock and many other styles of music is “just 7 to 10 digits away”.

For recording sessions, ROCKITSESSIONS offer the best studios, best gear, top sessions players for accompaniment, full recording capabilities, videographers to capture the experience (and even produce a video), extravagant catering and whatever else to make this the experience the fulfillment of a bucket list item or two.  They are able to rent out venues for personal performances and create private concerts.    There is also an option to just jam covers or for the super fan, just hang out and get to know a rock star way beyond a typical and hurried meet and greet.  ROCKITSESSIONS can set this up in LA or even make the arrangements to travel to the requestor.   The sky’s the limit, as nothing is truly out of the question.

JAMES LoMenzo JAM WITH KENNY ARONOFF BRENT WOODS ERIK HIMEL JIMMY DEANDA CHUCK WRIGHT BRIAN TICHY FREDDIE MERCURY LUCY’S 51 Toluca Lake 7/16/2013

Lucy’s 51 is a great venue and this was a jam to be at.   James LoMenzo, Brent Woods and Kenny Aronoff make an incredible band.   

It’s hard to thinks such an incredible jam could take place on a Monday.    Tons of great songs were played and fun was had by all.

One of the biggest parts of the evening was seeing Greg from Queen Nation do a guest spot for the second time this evening (Earlier on live TV with Space Oddity/ David Brighton as David Bowie at the Roxy) with Brian Tichy joining in on the drums, as they tore through some Queen classics (“Tie Your Mother Down” and “Dragon Attack”.  The songs completely rocked.   James also had local hero Mike Cochrane onstage who rocked The Immigrant Song with the band.   Mike’s primarily known for blues jams, but he really is a rocker.    The all-around musicianship was fierce.  Everybody played their heart out and the crowd loved it.

SPACE ODDITY – DAVID BRIGHTON as DAVID BOWIE on AXS TV WORLD’S GREATEST TRIBUTE BANDS SEASON 2 OPENER 7/15/2013

This was a solid show to start the new season of The World’s Greatest Tribute Bands.

In addition to playing a bunch of songs that appeared on the “Changesbowie” album, there were many surprises in the season 2 opener for TWGTB.

Katie Daryl introduced David and the show began with “Fame”, which got the place rocking.

David Brighton did a fantastic and very convincing job playing Bowie tunes from each era, complete with costumes changes and special guests.  He and his very capable band then launched into “Young Americans” and “Golden Years”.

Mick Adams from The Ultimate Stones came out and sang “Dancing In The Streets”, which really took the crowd by surprise. Given its normal format, the show went to a relatively early commercial break.

Katie took the stage and the curtain closed momentarily.

Following the commercial break, David came out in the Ziggy Stardust outfit.    Space Oddity played “Rebel Rebel”, “Ziggy Stardust” and then mixed together “Changes” and “Space Oddity”.

From there, they played “Suffragette City” and “The Jean Genie”

An extended guitar solo allowed more time for another costume change and another group of tunes that started with “Let’s Dance” and “China Girl” from the early 80s.

Another highlight of the show was an appearance by Freddie Mercury (Gregory Finsley from Queen Nation).  He came out and performed a rocking version of “Under Pressure”.

Then the band closed out the live telecast with “Heroes”, where  Katie came onstage and said goodnight to the TV crowd.

The best part?  Katie said they were going to play one more song played as they went off air and they closed the show with “Modern Love”. 

This was a great way to start the season and sets the bar way high for the rest of the performers in season 2.

Next week?  The Police Experience.   This should be another outstanding show.
