Artist of the Week: Ace Enders & A Million Different People & Even More People

Here's the deal, last week I introduced you to a really cool, but not to well known band. Well this week, I wanted to share a little bit more about this band, and a very cool project they've put together. A couple of months ago, front man Ace Enders had an idea. He thought that in time like these, sometimes people need something to hold on to. Even if that something is as simple as a song. So with the help of some friends; Mark Hoppus (Blink-182), Matt Thiessen (Relient K), Kenny Vasoli (Starting Line), Craig Owens (Chiodos), Alex Gaskarth (All Time Low), Aaron Marsh (Copeland), Duane F. Okun (Socratic), and Bryce Avery (the Rocket Summer), Enders set out to record a song that might just do that.

Once the song was done, Enders made it available on December 2nd through iTunes, but that wasn't the end of the story. Enders decided to have all proceeds from the song benefiting VH1's Save The Music Foundation.

For those unfamiliar, the VH1 Save The Music Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to restoring instrumental music education programs in America’s public schools, and raising awareness about the importance of music as part of each child’s complete education. To date, VH1 Save The Music has provided more than $43 million in new musical instruments, affecting the lives of more than 1.2 million children. Lets help push that number way over $50 million. That being said, this week's artist is Ace Enders & A Million Different People & Even More People with their song Bittersweet Symphony, enjoy.
