Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons to Honor Local Veterans at New Rock & Brews Restaurant in Orlando on August 9th, 2017
Hi everyone!
The second Rock & Brews in the Orlando area opened in April, and Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley will be at that new Lee Vista location for a private event charity fundraiser that will benefit Fisher House Orlando on August 9th, 2017. We were at the opening of the Oviedo location over two years ago as Stanley and Simmons were on hand for the grand opening, and had the opportunity to interview them. As the daughter of a veteran who lost his sight in Vietnam (and he has dedicated his life to helping other veterans), that aspect of the Rock & Brews mission means a lot to me – and the food is great too. Read below for the press release, and check out our Oviedo article from 2015 for a look at the grand opening and food. I added a couple of our videos from that opening below as well.
