Known for its vibrant social scene and innovative global music programming, Aloft Hotels has put a spotlight on up-and-coming artists since the brand’s inception in 2008 with the introduction of Live At Aloft Hotels, the signature ongoing music series offered at every one of the brand’s nearly 100 hotels worldwide. The popular acoustic sets showcase emerging talent with live, intimate performances in WXYZ® bars and unscripted backstage moments. Past Live At Aloft Hotels feature artists have included Green River Ordinance, Better Than Ezra, The Lumineers, Langhorne Slim, and many more. Additionally, in 2014, the brand hosted 100 Days of Music, a global initiative in which 100 artists performed at 100 Aloft Hotels over the course of 100 days to celebrate the road to the 100th hotel opening. As a further commitment to rising musicians, Aloft’s annual Project Aloft Star global talent competition is aimed at discovering the world’s hottest music acts. This year’s competition is scheduled to launch early this summer.
