Press release February 1, 2007

Simon Kirke will be playing his drums Center Court with the Penn Band as they entertain the crowd with songs from Bad Company and Free, ending with the finale "All Right Now!"

Simon Kirke will be available to sign autographs and his new Drumming DVD: Lessons from a Legend. This DVD provides you with a private lesson from Simon Kirke, considered one of the greatest and most influential drummers of our time. Simon invites you to play along with him as he teaches you to play classic rock hits from Bad Company and Free.

The Penn Band, founded in 1897, is a bastion of music and mirth on the Penn Campus, performing upwards of 60 times a year. In recent years, the group has toured both Walt Disney World and Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida. The group's appearances include nine NCAA tournament games on national television in the past ten years, ESPN Game Day Live, MSNBC Hardball, and The Fox and Friends Morning Show.

Rockstarz’ (www.rockstarzinc.com) goal is to teach the average person how to play music like their favorite rock star. In our case, we actually have the rock stars themselves playing and teaching the lessons. Our DVD’s show how to play classic rock and roll songs, provide the unprecedented opportunity to play along and hear the intimate stories about the bands and the songs that made them rock stars. Rockstarz products are exclusively distributed worldwide by Hal Leonard and are available at your local music stores and online.
