School of Rock Revue Concerts at Just Jakes

Musicians from School of Rock Montclair’s Summer Boot Camps will be performing a series of Saturday lunchtime concerts at Just Jake’s (30 Park Street).

The students, who range in age from 8 to 18, present songs that they’ve learned in the School's themed summer camp weeks, which take place at School of Rock Montclair throughout July and August.

“On the Mondays of each camp week, the students are organized into bands,” explains Matt Sandoski, owner of School of Rock Montclair.  “On Tuesdays, we have expert guest presenters, who provide the campers with history about the songs that they’re learning and stories about the original musicians who performed and wrote them.  Fridays are final rehearsals, and on Saturday, the lights go on, the volume gets cranked, and bands are on stage!  It’s a great way for our young musicians to learn new music, gain some valuable musical knowledge, make new friends, and best of all, have a blast.”

The schedule of the School of Rock Montclair Saturday summer concert series is as follows: 

July 23 and August 20 – ROCK N’ SOUL SUMMER REVUE, featuring top soul anthems of the 60s and 70s (Otis Redding, James Brown, Sly & The Family Stone, Al Green, Dusty Springfield, and more)
