Aerosmith drummer Joey Kramer will open Rockin’ & Roastin’ flagship café in Massachusetts, Unites States in early 2015. The founder of the Rockin’ & Roastin’ coffee brand and his business partners, Ron Mann and Frank Cimler, will team up with Kramer’s longtime friend, auto-dealership magnate Ernie Boch, Jr., in this flagship venture.
The group said that the 1500-square-foot-café will be a coffeehouse with a “rock-star edge.” Kramer’s Rockin’ & Roastin’ dragon logo will be reproduced into a bold sign with illuminated eyes. Kramer will display his full drum kit from the recent “Let Rock Rule!” world tour, back lit in a glass jewel case visible from the roadways. The café ceiling will be lined with rock-and-roll images and memorabilia and rock-and-roll music videos and concerts will play on screens in the background.
“I’ve always wanted to start my own business and I’m humbled by how far Rockin’ & Roastin’ has come in the past couple of years,” said Joey Kramer, Founder & Chairman of Rockin’ & Roastin, “Opening up our flagship café is another way that I can continue to entertain fans in new and unique ways.”
Kramer joins a plethora of celebrities who have launched their own coffee brands, including Leonardo DiCaprio, Hugh Jackman, David Lynch, Ralph Lauren and Martha Stewart.
