Camp Freddy is a group of established musicians who play rock and roll covers at various shows around America. The band is composed of core members Dave Navarro (guitar), Billy Morrison (guitar), Matt Sorum (drums), Donovan Leitch, Jr. (vocals) and Chris Chaney (bass). Each performance features guest performances from many respected musicians.[1]
The band's name is derived from a character in The Italian Job movie. Guitarist Billy Morrison describes them as: "...not a band, but it is also way more than a jam session. Camp Freddy is an ‘Occasional Happening’, a freak of (Hollywood) nature."
Scott Weiland was a core member and vocalist for the band from March 2006 until April 2008, when his decision to leave Velvet Revolver for Stone Temple Pilots caused tension between Matt Sorum and Weiland, leading to his departure from the group being announced on the April 2, 2008 edition of Camp Freddy Radio.
Camp Freddy, with producer Mike Clink, have been recording an album which will mirror the live shows, with guests performing on each track. So far, two tracks have been released: Cheap Trick's "Surrender" and Slade's "Merry Xmas Everybody". In 2009, Billy Morrison stated that "there will be a record. One day! When we all get around to finishing what we started."[2]
On Saturday evenings band members - usually Morrison and Navarro - hosted a radio show which took place between the hours of 18:00 and 20:00 PT on the Los Angeles based Indie 103.1 FM radio station. Podcasts can be found for each show in an on demand archive on Billymorrison.net or Dave Navarro's 6767.com
