Star 101.9‘s Band Camp makes its eighth appearance next month (Dec. 2) with Grammy award-winning group Train as the headliner among a slew of must-see artists.
Last year’s Band Camp drew nearly 5,000 people to the Waikiki Shell. To keep things fresh, Band Camp 8 has a new lineup of artists and a new venue, Blaisdell Arena.
“We want to create a music festival for our STAR 101.9 listeners highlighting artists from our play list,” says Christine Yasuma, director of marketing and promotions for Clear Channel Radio
Hawaii. “In previous years, we’ve featured The Fray, Matisyahu, Pepper and Hoobastank, to name a few. This year is no exception. We’ve secured Train and Orianthi, who have the hottest singles on our station right now.”
Train’s fifth album, Save Me San Francisco, features the hits Hey, Soul Sister and If It’s Love. Hey, Soul Sister is the No. 1 most-downloaded song in Columbia Records history and the album has sold more than 500,000 copies.
At 24 years old, internationally known guitarist Orianthi has opened for her hero Steve Vai, backed Carrie Underwood, traded solos with Carlos Santana and shared the stage with Michael Jackson. Her jaw-dropping talent was placed in the spotlight through her collaborative performances with Jackson in the movie This Is It.
In support of local artists, Star 101.9 has invited The Throwdowns and Pimpbot to open the show this year.
“Our return to Band Camp comes at a perfect time, as we are just about to celebrate 10 years as band and release our third album,” says Fernando Pacheco, lead vocalist of Pimpbot.
“Sharing the stage with these hit-makers gives us the opportunity to showcase our new material to a mainstream audience,” adds Eric Lagrimas, Pimpbot drummer.
Band Camp 8 tickets cost $25, $35 and $45 and are available at Blaisdell Box Office, all Ticketmaster outlets or by phone at 745-3000.
