For the eighth consecutive year, global law firm Greenberg Traurig, LLP’s house band, The Meltones, won the annual Law Rocks NYC battle of the bands to a sold out crowd at the Gramercy Theatre in New York City on Oct. 19. Law Rocks Global promotes music education for underprivileged youth and raises money for local nonprofit organizations. The Meltones, named after a firm founder Mel Greenberg, has been the Greenberg Traurig “house band” since the mid-1980s.
With Greenberg Traurig’s support, The Meltones raised more than $100,000 in sponsorship and donations for East Harlem Tutorial Program/East Harlem Scholars Academies (EHTP). EHTP is a multisite after-school program for public and charter school students focused on increasing the college graduation rate in East Harlem.
