DEL.ICIO.USJingle jam for a good cause
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Looking for a holiday song you haven’t heard a zillion times on the radio already? And one that helps a good cause, no less? Lend an ear.
The song is “Money in a Card,” as in the gift that kids really want for Christmas. The band is the Camp Jam Allstars, a group of teenagers, true amateurs, three of them from metro Atlanta.
You can go on iTunes and buy the song for 99 cents. Proceeds go to the charity Little Kids Rock, a program that provides free instruments and music instruction for public school students.
Camp Jam is a summer music camp for kids that was started in Atlanta by Jeff Carlisi, lead guitarist for .38 Special, that takes young rock-god wannabes and turns them into real rockers (talent permitting). From its start in Atlanta, it has fanned out with franchises. Carlisi co-wrote “Money in a Card” with rockers Liberty DeVito and Derek St. Holmes, both of whom have taught at Camp Jam.
The Allstars are: Niki Frishberg (vocals, Houston, Tx), Chandler Baldwin (vocals, Loganville, Ga), Chris Iorio (guitar, Las Vegas), Matt Ernst (guitar, Auburn, Al), Reeth Dasgupta (bass, Atlanta) and Rod Allred (drums, Atlanta).
And they are ready to rock. You can watch the Youtube video here.
