Camp Counselor Eric Picks:
George Clinton and P-Funk
George Clinton revolutionized the R & B and funk sound during the 1970s. Over the years they’ve played under different monikers, both Parliament and Funkadelic. Both groups focused on certain sounds of the era, each having their own breakthroughs in hits. During the late 1980s and 90s, Clinton’s music was re-established as the soundtrack for the Rap Movement, inspiring the works of many artists including Digital Underground, Dr. Dre, and Warren G. Funk Rock artists like Primus and Red Hot Chili Peppers also attribute their works of the 90s to be influenced by George Clinton. As one of the fathers of funk, Summer Camp Music Festival proudly welcomes them to this year’s festival!

The Roots
The collaboration between Tariq “Black Thought” Trotter and Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson date all the way back to 1987 where they performed together at a talent show. Solidifying the name “The Roots” in 1992 and with their debut album release a year later, the group has proven to be a hip-hop act unlike any other. Known for their unique sound and having a very pioneering career, the group has proven to be a staple over the years helping define hip-hop. Currently, the band has released over ten albums and also currently stands as the house band for The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. We welcome them to Summer Camp and cannot wait to get down!

There is never a dull moment with Andy Frasco. From the moment he hits the stage, you’re guaranteed a party with his high-energy party blues! His energy and excitement is contagious. The best part is that the shows are interactive and you really never know what’s going to happen. He may jump into the crowd, sometimes he has his band members do improvisational “battles” with their instruments, and he’s also been known to stop and talk with fans in the audience. Not only does Frasco do extensive touring here in the states, he also performs in countries around the globe! No two shows are the same with Andy Frasco, and his group is a must see at this year’s Summer Camp!
