Ace Announces Partnership with Melodic Caring Project and Hospital
ORLANDO, FLORIDA (August 7, 2015) – Ace Cafe Orlando announced today that it is partnering with the Melodic Caring Project to present young patients at Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children live streamed concerts to their hospital rooms in Orlando. The first concert is August 8th, featuring the soulful sounds of Alabama Shakes, the triple Grammy-nominated American rock n’ roll band from Alabama, whose latest release debuted at number one on American Billboard 200.
“Ace Cafe has a number of exciting things planned for Orlando, and live music will be a cornerstone of what guests can expect at the Ace,” said Steve Glum, Ace Cafe North America’s chief marketing officer. “Ace Cafe is an iconic brand built on bikes, cars and rock n’ roll, and we are thrilled to be working alongside the Melodic Caring Project to bring the healing powers of music to the kids at Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children. We look forward to continuing to build on this relationship and music platform as the Ace joins the Orlando business and entertainment community.”
