In the early 90s, Seattle sprung up as ground zero for Grunge--the music that captured the teen angst of the 1990s and became one of Rock’s last sweeping mainstream movements that inspired a cultural phenomenon. Nirvana’s song “Smells Like Teen Spirit” quickly became an international sensation, bringing this new genre to the mainstream. Major record labels began searching feverishly for similar artists who could further capitalize on the massive interest in this new sound. The result was an abrupt shift away from the formulaic Pop and Hair Metal anthems of the 1980s to the gritty and dynamic sound of Grunge. More new Seattle bands such as Soundgarden, Alice In Chains, Pearl Jam, Screaming Trees and Temple of the Dog drew even more attention. While Grunge expanded around the country, this camp will focus on the original bands that defined the genre. Students of all instruments and experience levels can expect good challenges in this fun show full of interesting and classic grunge hits.
