Music Masters Camps’ sixth-annual Roots Rock Revival will take place from August 6th through 10th at Full Moon Resort in the heart of the “Forever Wild” Catskill Forest Preserve in upstate New York. The camp was created by the late drummer Butch Trucks, a founding member of the Allman Brothers Band, in conjunction with bassist Oteil Burbridge (formerly ABB, now Dead & Company) and brothers Luther Dickinson and Cody Dickinson of the North Mississippi Allstars.
These all-star players sought to bring fans and musicians together to explore the world of the Southern Blues Rock movement, the Allman Brothers Band, and the music that forms the foundation of Rock ‘n Roll. Despite the sudden death of Trucks and Col. Bruce Hampton, who also joined the RRR family in 2016, Roots Rock Revival goes on in their memories and extends the focus onto the Grateful Dead.
In addition to Burbridge and the Dickinson brothers, the 2018 lineup will once again include Grahame Lesh (son of Phil Lesh, Midnight North), NOLA jazz drummer Johnny Vidocovich, guitarist Vaylor Trucks (son of Butch Trucks), Berry Oakley Jr. (son of Berry Oakley), Brandon “Taz” Niederauer, and Sister Sparrow, Jackson Kincheloe, Brian Graham, and Phil Rodriguez of Sister Sparrow & The Dirty Birds.
Today, the event announced the 2018 special guests, including founding member of the Allman Brothers Band and drummer Jaimoe, jazz keyboardist John Medeski, Lettuce/Soulive guitarist Eric Krasno, Furthur guitarist John Kadlecik, Thievery Corporation‘s Congo Sanchez and Ashish Vyas, and Jaimoe’s Jasssz Band guitarist Junior Mack.
Whether you’re a campfire player, a full-time musician, or a passionate music fan, this experience offers the opportunity to dive deep into the world of your favorite musical artists. Roots Rock Revival will feature not only outstanding music but also three gourmet meals a day.
