“He has a marvelous talent for making the most of downtown locations as well as

suburban emptiness and industrial park grunge".”

The music of 1990’s was epitomized by alternative rock; a growing number of genres and

movements all coalescing into a beautiful melting pot of sounds and esthetic. The grunge-era of

the alternative movement set itself apart from the norm and blazed a furious path that forged

together rock, blues, metal, soaring vocals and attitude.

The MTV series “Unplugged”, soon began showcasing some of alternative-rock and grunges’

most pivotal acts; namely Pearl Jam (92’), Stone Temple Pilots (93’), Nirvana (94’) and Alice In

Chains (96’). Within this “Unplugged” format, artists tampered and stripped down some of their

most electrifying material and showcased it in a new, raw acoustic format.

Floyd & The Walkmen have produced an intimate tribute event dubbed “Polly’s Jam” and have

faithfully recreated some of these artists’ best-known music from these iconic shows!

Spend your evening with Polly’s Jam and re-live some of your favorite alternative rock and

grunge memories in this exciting and electrifying format!
