For Girls About To Rock, A Guitar Camp For You

Nashville rocker Jessi Zazu, of Those Darlins, has come full circle, from attending the Southern Girls Rock Camp for teenage female musicians, to teaching and performing at the camp.

This year, Zazu debuted a new song about a lack of respect for women in rock — and said she’s preparing her students to change the industry.

At camp, the girls choose an instrument to learn, make up band names — think Glitter Bomb or the Atomic Flying Elbows — and design rock ‘n’ roll T-shirts.

Zazu, who is 25, teaches screenprinting and guitar. She’s passing on the same skills and swagger that she learned at camp, starting when she was just 12. She had frizzy brown hair at the time that made her look like a feral child — or like a heavy metal drummer.
