I admit, the Girls Rock Camp Austin final showcase this past summer at the Parish made me tear up. The confidence and ambition of these middle school and high school-aged girls was inspiring, and it made me wish I had something like that when I was a kid.

And then it made me wish there was a place women could go and do the same thing.

And then there was! The inaugural Ladies Rock Camp Austin takes place the weekend of Oct. 17-19 at the Griffin School (710 East 41st St.) and benefits its little sister. No experience necessary, just the desire to rock. Instructors include Rosie Flores, Amy Cook, LZ Love, Terri Lord, Akina Adderly, Tiffanie Lanmon of Follow That Bird!, Lauren Langner of Ume, Cari Palazzolo of Belaire, and more.
