Storied: The Grunge Era
On Saturday, November 2, 2024, at 8 pm, join host Benji Rosenzweig as he guides the audience through this alternative rock genre and subculture that emerged in the U.S. during the mid-1980s and thrived through the mid 90's. Benji will discuss how Grunge fuses punk rock and heavy metal elements while incorporating influences from indie rock bands. He will delve into the angst-filled and introspective lyrics, often addressing themes of societal hardship, from bands such as Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Jane's Addiction, and Soundgarden, as well as artists of the era like Alanis Morissette, Hole, and Lenny Kravitz, who helped define Grunge against societal norms of race and gender.
Backed by a 5-piece rock band led by Detroit musician and actor Eric Gutman, the session will musically illustrate each artist and band with well-known songs from the Grunge catalog. In a setting like MTV Unplugged meets VH1 StoryTellers, Eric, the band, and Benji will go back and forth between storytelling and music.
