QUALITY: JAR OF FLIES (the ultimate AIC experience) is a gathering of top Seattle musicians with a passion for live energy and true showmanship.
EXPERIENCE: They do not try to look like the bands, act like the bands, or try to “be” the bands; they just painstakingly work to ensure that they sound exactly like the albums.
In honor of Alice in Chains, the Seattle-based tribute band brings an authentic and powerful sonic experience to the stage.

From the same city that produced the most influential musical movement of the 20th century comes the world’s most spot-on tributes to Layne Staley (Jar Of Flies), Chris Cornell (Outshined) and Kurt Cobain (Negative Creep). Covering virtually the entire catalogues of Alice in Chains, Soundgarden and Nirvana, along with sprinkles of their beloved side projects and supergroups, audiences receive a pinpoint recreation of these three all-time rock & roll greats.
