CMT Camp Nashville, slated to take place in "Music City" May 21-25, 2009, is the first multi-artist country music fantasy camp of its kind. Campers will experience five days of "red carpet treatment" in the role of a country star, complete with a stay at the trendy Hotel indigo, a full entourage of roadies, stylists, tour managers, access to top rehearsal halls, private recording studio sessions, songwriting classes, vocal coaching by world-renowned Renee Grant Williams (Dixie Chicks, Faith Hill, Keith Urban), backstage parties at Nashville Palace and Nashville Cowboy, gourmet meals served by Shoney's Catering and the unique exclusive opportunity to learn, jam, hang and perform with country music greats including Bo Bice, Phil Vassar, Lady Antebellum, Ronnie Milsap, John Rich, Darryl Worley, Andy Griggs, Rhett Akins, Deana Carter, Jessica Harp and Henry Paul.
The experience will culminate with a Final Showdown, where campers will perform as the opening act for Phil Vassar and Lady Antebellum at the world-famous Wildhorse Saloon.
One hundred campers can register on a first-come, first-service basis online at www.campnashville.com or by calling (615) 254-2315.
"This camp is not just for aspiring stars and those with talent. It is about giving one hundred everyday, ordinary country fans a chance to experience their 'inner star.' If all you can play is the cowbell, we invite you to attend and bring your bell," explained CMT's Lance Smith.
Campers will be featured on the CMT Camp Nashville website, www.campnashville.com, which provides an online community for participants to share their "stardom" with the world through feature videos and blogs. Content will also be carried on the Country Weekly website at www.countryweekly.com and on the CMT website at www.campnashville.cmt.com.
