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.

SAT 6/27 THE GRUNGE SHOW Airport Tavern Music Hall NEGATIVE CREEP Nirvana + OUTSHINED Soundgarden + JAR OF FLIES AIC w/ special guest @travisbrachtofficial 7PM Doors | 8PM Show | 21+
Seattle changed rock music forever, and on Saturday, June 27, Airport Tavern Music Hall turns the volume all the way up for a full-on tribute to the sound that shook the world.
THE GRUNGE SHOW brings together three powerhouse tribute acts dedicated to recreating the grit, weight, melody, and raw emotional force of the Pacific Northwest’s most iconic bands. This is more than a night of covers — it’s a full-tilt celebration of the songs, tone, and attitude that made Nirvana, Soundgarden, Temple of the Dog, and Alice In Chains essential.
Together, these bands recreate the essence of a movement that was never polished, never fake, and never built to play nice. THE GRUNGE SHOW is for the lifers, the loud ones, the flannel-and-feedback faithful, and anybody who still wants to feel that Seattle sound in their chest.
A full night devoted to the bands that defined a generation — played with the kind of care, force, and respect this music deserves.
