ZZ Top ROCK CAMP
ZZ Top started as a trio putting their own spin on blues & boogie rock, and became arena rock stars in the 1970s.
ZZ Top formed in Houston in 1969 under the direction of manager Bill Ham. The trio consists of Billy Gibbons (b. December 16, 1949, Houston) on lead guitar, Dusty Hill (b. Joe Hill, May 19, 1949, Dallas) on bass guitar, and Frank Beard (b. June 11, 1949, grew up in Irving) on drums. Gibbons replaced the original members of his band, Moving Sidewalks, with Hill and Beard from rival band American Blues. The group began touring with other southern boogie bands in the 1970s and built a strong following in the process.

The Amazing Tuesday Afternoon BMF Teen Rock Band
January to end of
School Year (20 weeks)
Join this band. In our Teen Rocker Band you start playing together
the very first hour and you don't stop. All levels welcome. You'll
learn how to really play (and perform). While making music with
your peers in the rehearsal studio, you'll get better at your
instrument and develop your skills—and your swagger, but especially
you're understanding of band arrangements and how to play with a
group.
This year, we're inviting the band members themselves to create the
curriculum: You tell us what songs you want to play. And togther
we'll make it happen. This band will be
unstoppable.

Genesis ROCK CAMP
Join the Genesis Rock Band Camp and play the songs you and your bandmates choose.
English rock band Genesis formed in 1967. The band's
longest-running line-up consisted of keyboardist Tony Banks,
bassist/guitarist Mike Rutherford and drummer/singer Phil Collins.
In the 70s, during which the band also included singer Peter
Gabriel and guitarist Steve Hackett, Genesis were pioneers of
progressive rock.

101 Rock Band
Camp
A rock camp for you
Adults who really WANT to try this playing-in-a-band thing. Maybe
you play an instrument a little here and there, or maybe you don't.
It doesn't matter.
You will learn quickly. Three weeks in, your band will be rocking.
And you will be empowered, holding down the beat or playing a
simple bass line, and possibly singing your heart out.
... So there you are. You want to play in a band. And now you will.
You've probably seen your friends and neighbors playing in these
rock camps. We've got a million stories of folks who came in here
not knowing how to make music, and the next thing you know they
have BECOME rock and rollers, they've become bass players,
drummers, guitar players.
And here is where you start. Rock Camp 101. We take it step by
step. We're not going to hold you to performing your first time
out. It could seem a little scary, yeah, maybe, ... or
exhilirating. So if your band wants to put on a show you will
certainly do that. But no pressure. We'll talk about it. Sign up
for 101. Come in. Try this or that instrument. Learn how to play
some basic parts, begin to develop an understanding of how to
communciate with your bandmates and unlock a few secrets, like
getting from the beginning to the end of a song. And as for songs,
there is a mountain of rock and roll songs that are only 2 or 3
chords.
If you want to do this, you can and will do
this.
It's a blast. The worry goes away. The rock begins. Let's go!
Open to Adults. You don't have to own an instrument. Often, we're able to let you borrow stuff to practice with at home. Any questions? play@beaconmusicfactory.com
