- Nirvana (Rehearsals Mondays 5:00 - 7:00 PM, Starting January 27, 2025) Formed in Aberdeen Washington in 1987 by friends Kurt Cobain (vocals and guitar) and Krist Novoselic (bass) and Chad Channing (drummer), combining elements of Punk, Metal, and Pop, Nirvana channeled teen angst. Dave Grohl replaced Channing, providing the missing piece of the puzzle. Nirvana went on to record what is known as the pinnacle of the Grunge movement, Nevermind. With tracks like “Smells Like Teen Spirit”, “Come As You Are”, and “In Bloom”, Nirvana skyrocketed into mainstream success, crowning them the kings of Grunge. The band’s career was cut short by Cobain’s untimely death in 1994, but Nirvana have remained prominent music legends due to their innovative sound and their influence on countless bands who came after them. Beginner and intermediate guitar players will learn power chords and melodic lead guitar in this show, while any drum student will be challenged by David Grohl’s powerful, technical drumming. This is a solid show for all levels of playing and is packed with crowd-pleasing '90s anthems.
- 21st Century Indie Rock (Rehearsals Tuesdays 5:00 - 7:00 PM, Starting January 28, 2025) While “Indie Rock” began as an underground DIY movement in rock in the late 1970s and 1980s, and more broadly in the aftermath of Nirvana’s success in the early 90s to refer to any music that fell outside of mainstream tastes - a synonym to the more well-known “alternative” label. By the turn of the millennium, Indie Rock was mainstream, and became defined by the hard-driving garage-influenced sounds of bands like The Strokes, The Walkmen, Arctic Monkeys, The Black Keys, Dead Weather, and The Killers. In the 2000s, Indie Rock evolved to incorporate more varied influences, such as Folk (Brandi Carlile, Phoebe Bridgers), Space Rock (Flaming Lips, Tame Impala), World Music (Florence + The Machine, Arcade Fire) and Electronica (Imagine Dragons, St. Vincent). This show is a great option for students of all instruments and experience levels.
- Psychedelic Rock (Rehearsals Wednesdays 5:30 - 7:30 PM, Starting January 29 2025) A style of music that originated in the 1960s and still remains popular today, Psychedelic Rock was established by artists such as The Doors, Janis Joplin, Jefferson Airplane, Jimi Hendrix, The Beatles, and Pink Floyd. Characterized by the use of feedback, electronics, high volume, and improvised solos, this genre helped transition rock from blues and folk to progressive and hard rock while contributing to the development of heavy metal! Loose song structures would often be utilized to create instrumental textures that produced a hypnotic or otherworldly sound, along with novelty studio tricks and electronic or even non-Western instrumentation. Modern day artists such as Tame Impala, MGMT, Grizzly Bear, The Flaming Lips, and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard are all great examples of artists that have carried the torch through the 21st century while adding a modern flair and their own unique voices to this expansive genre.
- Pop Legends (Rehearsals Saturdays 3:00 - 5:00 PM, Starting February 1, 2025) Before there was Rock and Roll, there was Pop. Short for Popular, Pop music was whatever was popular at that moment. This show will celebrate the impact that acclaimed artists have made on the music industry, encompassing music ranging from the 60s through today, including artists such as Carol King, Aretha Franklin, Mariah Carey, Madonna, Taylor Swift, Stevie Nicks, Michael Jackson, Amy Winehouse, Elton John, Adele and many more. This show is a great challenge for “Rock” guitar players who want to work on new chord shapes and voicings. Bass players will be able to work on very challenging melodic parts in support of drummers who will learn limb independence on many of the parts. Vocalists’ skills will be pushed with the level of singing and performing required in this show, while keyboardists will be heavily represented in these well-known arrangements.
