Velvet Unplugged featuring David Cook at the Hard Rock Hotel, Orlando

A couple times a year, the Hard Rock Hotel presents Velvet Unplugged — featuring live performances starring well-known, established musicians playing an acoustic show. The vibe is perfect for music lovers of all kinds and ages looking for a great way to enjoy a date night, friends night or just a night out with the family.

David Cook is an American rock singer-songwriter that rose to fame after winning the seventh season of American Idol in 2008. We're assuming hits like "The Time Of My Life," "Light On," "Come Back To Me," "The Last Goodbye," "Fade Into Me" will be performed – including songs from his recently released EP — The Hero.

Guests have a "Table for 2" or "Table for 4" seating option – which includes a reserved café style table for up to two or four people, a first round of house drinks and complimentary valet parking. (So, if your group only has three people, you'll have to get a Table for 4.)

There's also a "standing room only" area (behind the tables) which includes discounted self-parking for $5 or valet parking for $15. You'll still need to purchase a ticket in advance if you want access to the Standing room only area.
