RICHIE SAMBORA has been officially added to the line-up of ROCKIN' THE CORPS, a live music/media event taking place on Friday, APRIL 1st at Camp Pendleton in San Diego, CA. This is a 'thank you' to military personnel for their service. Camp Pendleton is the West Coast home of the US Marine Corps. The event will feature performances by Destiny's Child, Ja Rule, Godsmack, KISS, Hootie & The Blowfish and Ted Nugent. Cedric The Entertainer is the host. Additional celebrities such as Sharon Stone, Marisa Tomei, Michelle Rodriguez and Randy Jackson will all be taking part. RICHIE SAMBORA will be doing a short acoustic set - he flew Hugh McDonald (bass,) Everett Bradley (percussion) and Lorenza Ponce (violin) to join him on stage. While ROCKIN' THE CORPS is a free event, it's open only to active military personnel and their families. The evening will be filmed for subsequent release (tv and dvd.) This is not a political event - it is patriotic and a gift to the troops at Camp Pendleton - there is no political stance involved.
