Dragon Castle Studios Celebrates the Release of RockStar Reality Retreat Volume 1 with Public Album Release Party

Dragon Castle Studios will celebrate the release of RockStar Reality Retreat Volume 1 with a public album release party on Saturday, July 25, marking the culmination of the retreat's inaugural year and the beginning of a new chapter for one of Las Vegas' most recognizable recording studios.

Now under the ownership of Jason and Janea Ebs, Dragon Castle Studios, where Imagine Dragons recorded some of their earliest music, has become home to SWAGGERMOUTH and the newly launched RockStar Reality Retreat, a songwriting experience that invites aspiring artists and music lovers to step inside a professional recording studio and become part of the creative process. Jason Ebs is a singer, songwriter, producer, multi-instrumentalist, Army veteran, and former frontman for Peter Criss' band CRISS during the Bad Boys of KISS tours alongside Ace Frehley's band. Janea Chadwick Ebs is a singer-songwriter and performer who has toured with members of Toto and Chicago and worked with acclaimed producer David Foster. Together, they have spent years helping artists develop their songwriting and creative confidence.

The July 25 event at Rockstars of Tomorrow in Summerlin will feature the official debut of the RockStar Reality Retreat Volume 1 vinyl record, live performances from the artists featured on the album, and a celebration of the original music created during the retreat's first year.

The evening will include performances by SWAGGERMOUTH, Angel 206, Jason and Janea Ebs, and keyboardist Michael T. Ross, with television personality and singer Laura McKenzie serving as host. Guests will also hear selections from the new record before the night concludes with a collaborative jam session featuring RockStar Reality Retreat participants.

Admission is $10, with 25 percent of proceeds benefiting the Changing Lives Impacting Humanity Foundation.

Following the release party, the second RockStar Reality Retreat will take place July 26-27 at Dragon Castle Studios. Participants will collaborate on an original song for RockStar Reality Retreat Volume 2, with special guest mentor Bruce Kulick, former lead guitarist for KISS, joining the weekend to offer guidance throughout the songwriting process. As technology continues to reshape how music is made, RockStar Reality Retreat was created to celebrate collaboration, creativity, and the experience of making music together in the same room. Participants don't simply watch the process. They become part of it and leave with a permanent credit on a professionally released record.
