THIS EVENT HAS PASSED

A double bill celebrating 1990s grunge favorites Pearl Jam and Chris Cornell. The Ledbetters are the ultimate Pearl Jam tribute band. Capturing an authentic recreation of Pearl Jam’s studio recordings and live shows, The Ledbetters will bring you right back to your flannel-wearing days. Superunknown is the premier tribute band for the music of Chris Cornell, playing the music of Soundgarden, Audioslave and Temple of the Dog.

The Ledbetters are THE ultimate Pearl Jam tribute band. Capturing an authentic recreation of Pearl Jam’s studio recordings, combined with their intense live shows, The Ledbetters will bring you right back to your flannel wearing days. Comprised of powerhouse singer Jamie Stem (Sinch), James Burke on lead guitar, Steven Piperno on guitars, Rocco De Lise on bass guitar, and John Stover on drums, they accurately pay homage to the DEEP catalogue of iconic songs that influenced a generation. WHY GO see them? They’ll make you feel ALIVE!

Superunknown is quickly becoming the premier tribute band for the music of Chris Cornell. Started in 2018 as a solo act with vocalist/guitarist Jason Reed (who uncannily recreates the howling vocals of Cornell), Superunknown now consists of a full band also featuring Louis Graff (guitar), Tom Laskas (bass), Ron DiSilvestro (drums) and Pete Heffley (guitar).

Superunknown covers all eras of Chris Cornell, playing the music of Soundgarden, Audioslave and Temple of the Dog. They have already scored gigs playing the Gramercy Theatre in NYC, The Queen in Wilmington, and the World Café Live and Underground Arts venues in Philadelphia, where they connected with audiences desiring to hear the music of the late, great music legend.
