Camplified 2010 artist Thomas Fiss told me personally that he’s super-psyched for this summer’s tour! “I think Camplified allows summer camps to become a great outlet for showing kids that music can be a really fun way to express themselves,” Thomas says. “The sponsors and activities allow us to become more than a performer for the day. It allows us to become role models and friends to the campers. If I was able to experience this when I was their age, I would have had my parents enroll me in summer camp in a heartbeat!”
Thomas is also all about going green and helping to make our world a better place. He’s teamed up with Camplified 2010 sponsor Samsung/T-Mobile to encourage campers to recycle their old cell phones. Make a pledge to recycle yours or your family’s old phones by filling out this entry form, and you could be chosen to represent your camp as Thomas’ personal roadie for the day! This includes introducing Thomas on stage, hosting the meet ‘n’ greet at your camp and more. “They will get to announce me on stage and hang out with me all day!” Thomas exclaims. “They get to experience something that many kids their age don’t, like hang out with professional recording artists, then watch them rock out!” Not gonna lie… I’m a little jeal. I’d love to be a rock star’s roadie! If you get chosen at your camp, you better tell me ALL about it — maybe you can guest blog about your experience here on Camplified.com!

THOMAS FISS TO WORK WITH SAMSUNG MOBILE
TO HEADLINE CAMPLIFIED SUMMER TOUR TO PERFORM
AND HELP DRIVE A MAJOR MOBILE PHONE RECYCLING INITIATIVE
Currently finishing up a new EP for release this fall
Los Angeles, CA – June 03, 2010 – Hot off the success from his first EP, Waiting, heartthrob and pop sensation Thomas Fiss will headline the Camplified Summer Tour and is working with Samsung Mobile & T-Mobile to help collect and recycle mobile phones at over 30 summer camps.
Fiss, a triple threat who can sing, act, and play instruments, has been promoting his EP since January 2010 this year. He has spent the last month writing, recording, and putting the final touches on a new EP in New York & LA, playing shows at the House of Blues, for the Girl Scouts, and many others.
He has also been preparing for his summer tour with Camplified, a summer camp program that brings live music and a day of branded activities to campers across the U.S. “I am so excited to get out on the road, perform, and hang with campers,” said Thomas. In addition to the Camplified Tour, Thomas will also be playing other concerts including festivals, state fairs, and theme parks.
This summer will be all about recycling and having fun on Camplified. He has teamed up exclusively with Samsung Mobile & T-Mobile to help recycle mobile phones. “The goal is to get campers excited to be involved with Samsung’s recycling initiatives, and I am so stoked to be a part of this effort. Being from San Diego and an avid surfer, clean waters and beaches are very important to me. I’ve already pledged two old cell phones.”
To encourage campers to recycle, Thomas will select one lucky camper to be his “Roadie for the Day” at each camp. The Roadie will get to announce Thomas from stage, host meet n greet, and hang out with Thomas all day. Campers can enter at www.facebook.com/SamsungGravity. (more…)
With Atlantic Recording Artist Cody Simpson
Entering Its Ninth Season On The Road, The Camplified Tour Will Be Playing In Front Of
More Than 30,000 Teens And Tweens At Over 30 Different Summer Camps Across The Nation
NEW YORK, NY — Ready to embark on its ninth summer tour, Camplified is set to rock teens and tweens at over 30 camps across the United States, July 5 through August 13. Each tour stop features a host of talented musicians and bands, along with a broad spectrum of some of today’s hottest brands and corporate sponsors. The result is a true VIP concert experience, complete with meet and greets, contests, giveaways and more.
The brainchild of music executive Aimee Berger, Camplified originated in 2001 when Berger, frustrated by the lack of finances devoted to artist development within the record industry, created a grassroots marketing effort that could benefit more than just emerging musicians. Berger partnered with Primary Wave Music in 2008 to expand the Camplified experience with corporate sponsors, as well as create a broad digital community at Camplified.com where campers, bands and brands are able to interact and stay in touch long after summer camp ends.
The 2010 music schedule for Camplified highlights an array of talented up-and-comers, including new Atlantic recording artist Cody Simpson. With nearly 6 million views on YouTube, Simpson recently released his first single, “iYiYi,” featuring Flo Rida. This will be his first public tour. “I am so excited to go on my first-ever tour,” enthuses Simpson. “Having the opportunity to perform live is something I’ve been dreaming about since I first started playing guitar and singing.” (more…)
