The Southern Girls Rock and Roll Camp kicks off next week. (July 31^st – August 5^th) Remember when you were young and your parents sent you to some crappy camp with a fake Indian name? (kids today…)

“There’s something original going on in Nashville with a group mastering the arts of dynamic contrast and dissonance. On stage, Cameron exemplifies the music being made: fragile constructions that move from a single riff or cyclic lyric into downbeat heavy explosions.”
