Nationally Known Artists to Coach Rock 4 Real - an Adult Rock Music Workshop at MacPhail Center for Music

MacPhail Center for Music recently announced another one of a kind program - Rock 4 Real.  It's an Authentic Rock n’ Roll Experience for Adults, offering 18 and older musicians real world professional insight about songwriting, rehearsing, the music business and presenting a polished live show.

This April 10 - May 12 adult rock music workshop will be coached by Mike Arturi, drummer for Rock & Roll Hall of Famers the Lovin’ Spoonful, Tim Mahoney, The Voice season one contestant and locally known musician and Jim Peterik, member of the Rock & Roll band Survivor, and songwriter of hits such as “Eye of the Tiger” and “Vehicle.”

We had the pleasure of meeting Mike Arturi at MacPhail's beautiful Antonello Hall, where he gave us some background on the program and treated us to a drum solo.

All Rock 4 Real participants will be placed in bands on the first day of the workshop. Each band will receive direction and coaching from Mike Arturi and Tim Mahoney in preparation for a live performance at the Nomad World Pub on May 12. Jim Peterik will visit and counsel all the bands during dress rehearsal following his songwriting/live performance master class. Jim will also be present for the final performances wrapping the show up with a three song set accompanied by Mike and Tim!
