music performed by** Nirvanah**

Seattle’s own Nirvana remains one of the most influential rock bands of the late 20th century, spearheading the grunge movement that redefined popular music. Fronted by Kurt Cobain, alongside Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl, the trio blended raw emotion with punk urgency and melodic hooks. Their 1991 album Nevermind catapulted them from underground heroes to global icons, fueled by the breakout single “Smells Like Teen Spirit.” The band’s meteoric rise and Cobain’s tragic death in 1994 cemented their legacy as cultural touchstones. In 2026, Nevermind will mark its 35th anniversary, a testament to its enduring power and generational impact.
