More than just the words on the walls, Hard Rock International has remained true to its motto – “LOVE ALL” by continuing its pledge to serve others – since the company’s founding in 1971. Hard Rock is proud to announce the launch of The 2008 Global “Imagine There’s No Hunger” campaign to benefit WHY, a nonprofit organization that finds innovative solutions to hunger and poverty around the Globe. Hard Rock’s SERVE3 benefit compilation features new, never-before-released or rare tracks by a unique blend of major multi-platinum, Grammy Award-winning and acclaimed recording artists, including Bruce Springsteen, Joss Stone, Avril Lavigne, Starsailor, My Morning Jacket and more. Setting the foundation for “Imagine There’s No Hunger,” artist and musician Yoko Ono has graciously donated her late husband John Lennon’s inspirational song “Give Peace A Chance.” With the exception of this classic, the songs on SERVE3 are new, electric or acoustic, and reflect the generosity of the artists that donated them to the project on behalf of serving those in need. SERVE3 will be available at select Hard Rock locations around the world and www.hardrock.com beginning November 4, 2008, with downloads available at digital retailers. continue reading...
Continuing its pledge to serving others, Hard Rock is proud to announce the launch of SERVE2 – a benefit compilation, digitally available exclusively at iTunes, featuring previously unreleased tracks from some of music’s most influential artists, including Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, Jackson Browne, Joss Stone, KT Tunstall and more – to benefit WHY (World Hunger Year), a nonprofit organization that strives to fight against hunger and poverty in America and around the world. All net proceeds from SERVE2 will be donated directly towards Artists Against Hunger & Poverty (AAHP), a special artist-directed program of WHY – for which, Hard Rock has proudly raised more than $1 million to date.
Joining Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan and others in the fight against hunger and poverty, SERVE2 features never-before-released tracks by a unique blend of major multi-platinum, Grammy Award-winning and acclaimed recording artists like The Hold Steady, Mat Kearney, Brandi Carlile and more.
