SLIPKNOT's COREY TAYLOR Visits 'Brennan Rock & Roll Academy' In Sioux Falls (Video)

November 10, 2014

According to Keloland TV, SLIPKNOT and STONE SOUR frontman Corey Taylor visited the Brennan Rock & Roll Academy in Sioux Falls, South Dakota on Sunday, November 9.

The Brennan Rock & Roll Academy gives children the opportunity to grow by offering free music lessons to those that may not be able to get them. They help keep children off the streets, away from drugs, and offer a positive environment that will benefit them for the rest of their lives.

"It's humbling, definitely," Taylor said after receiving a round of applause upon entering the Academy. "You know, especially sometimes when we're on the road, you forget the impact that you have on people. To kind of feel that was definitely pretty cool."

Taylor, who grew up in poverty in Iowa, raised by his mother, added: "If a guy like me can make it just by taking a little talent and chasing a huge dream then why can't somebody else, especially when you do it from the heart and you do it with the kind of passion that drives you to do it for real."

Check out a video report from Keloland TV below.

Brennan Rock & Roll Academy founder Chuck Brennan has a lifelong love for rock and roll. Before founding Dollar Loan Center in Sioux Falls, Brennan opened and operated one of the largest rock concert halls in the Midwest, The Blitz Ballroom.

In order to rock at the Brennan Rock & Roll Academy, a youth must be a member of the Boys & Girls Club.

By participating in the Brennan Rock & Roll Academy, students will go through their own unique musical journey. In addition to learning to play instruments or sing, youth will learn how to work in groups and gain confidence that will serve them throughout their lives.
