On
Friday, July 11, 2014, Hard Rock Cafe is set to celebrate one year of its
renamed intimate music venue Hard Rock Live with a special benefit concert
honoring the lives of the victims of the June 8 tragedy. All the money raised
by the $10 ticket will go directly to help the families of officers Alyn Beck,
Igor Soldo and Joseph Wilcox.
“Not
only is music so ingrained into the heart of Hard Rock, it has an incredible
power to bring a community together,” said Andrew Courtney, Talent Buyer and
Special Events Manager for Hard Rock Live, “and once we heard the tragic news
that has affected so many of us here in Las Vegas, we knew we wanted to find a
way to honor these three great men and hopefully the proceeds from this
anniversary show can be our way of doing a small part in helping their families
during this difficult time.”
The
English Beat will be joined by local talent Rusty Maples and Avalon Landing.
Tickets can be purchased in advance at http://www.ticketweb.com/ or at the
door.
After
the iconic music venue’s official renaming last year, Hard Rock Live has booked
some of the hottest names in music from rockers such as Mogwai, Umphrey’s
McGee, and Sevendust to rappers such as Schoolboy Q, YG, and Tech N9ne along
with EDM DJ’s 12th Planet, Crizzly, and Brillz.
Additional
Artist Information
The
English Beat is a 2 Tone ska revival band founded in Birmingham, England. Their
sound uniquely fuses ska, pop, soul, reggae and punk rock.
Rusty
Maples were grown from the dry desert landscape of Las Vegas. The band’s sound
captures the spirit of the West with their well-crafted blend of tender lyrics,
classic themes and energetic Americana-inspired pop songs.
Avalon
Landing was the recent winners of the annual Hard Rock Rising battle of the
bands and had advanced to the top 25 world competition. The band’s catchy sound
and rave reviews have made the band a staple opening act for tours passing
through and other budding Vegas acts, such as Imagine Dragons. The idea for
Avalon Landing was sparked in a restaurant in Buffalo, New York and led to the
band’s formation ten months later in Las Vegas, Nevada.
