Denny Laines Joins Next Weekend's ROCK CON What do you get when you put over 100 rock stars in one hotel? That sounds like the set-up for a punch-line to a joke, but it's a question that will get an answer for the first time in history when "ROCK CON: Weekend of 100 Rock Stars" comes together next weekend at the Sheraton Meadowlands Hotel and Conference Center in East Rutherford, NJ. The Summer's most anticipated festival for music fans and collectors is expected to draw thousands of attendees who will meet, enjoy concerts by, listen to interviews with, and actually hang out with musicians, singers, pop personalities and rock icons from all eras of rock & roll. Along with the live concert performances, meet & greets, and question & answer sessions, there will be panel discussions, rare film screenings, photo ops, a music & memorabliia marketplace, and much more. The seemingly endless guest list represents 50 years of great music and memories, with such names as Denny Laine (and Steve Holley), Johnny Winter, Little Anthony, Beach Boys Founding Member Al Jardine, Tommy James, Mary Wilson of The Supremes, Marty Balin of Jefferson Starship, Gene Cornish of The Rascals, Paul Cotton of Poco, Andy Kim, Billy Hinsche of Dino Desi & Billy, Phil "Fang" Volk of Paul Revere & The Raiders, Spanky & Our Gang, Ron Dante of The Archies and many more. Although most of the guest artists will be present the entire weekend, there is a different schedule of events planned for all three days. The highlight of each evening is expected to be the last two hours of the event, when all the stars get to sing or play their hits - and jam on the songs of their fellow singers and musicians - in the hotel's Grand Ballroom Main Stage. Additionally, Friday night will feature the National Rock Icon Awards Ceremony Presentations (the RCIA's), which will not only honor the legends, acknowledge music accomplishments, but also recognize fan favorites. Themes for the Weekend include "LENNON LEGACY," with special guests from The Beatles' history including Carlos Alomar (who wrote "Fame" with Lennon & Bowie), Sid Bernstein, Clay Cole, May Pang, Dennis Ferrante and Gary Van Scyoc from Elephants memory, "ROCK & ROLL HALL OF FAMERS," "THE GREAT GIRL GROUPS REUNION," "HORROR ROCKERS REUNION" and the "BUBBLEGUM REUNION." A rock event like this is long-overdue. Celebrate 50 years of rock history live.
