Crystal Ballroom

Layne Staley Tribute East returns to Crystal Ballroom in Somerville on Saturday, November 7, for its second annual benefit concert honoring the lives and music of Layne Staley and Mike Starr.
Featuring Davey Allen, Billy Paul Fisher, Vedder Gabriel, and a cast of guest musicians, LSTE brings fans together to celebrate the music of Alice in Chains and remember two people whose music still means so much to us. Inspired by the long-running Seattle Layne Staley Tribute, this East Coast gathering gives fans a chance to share that connection in person and support people and families affected by addiction.
Proceeds will benefit the Layne Staley Memorial Fund through Therapeutic Health Services in Seattle and CASPAR Men’s Recovery Home in Somerville, supporting addiction treatment and recovery.
Come sing with us, remember Layne and Mike, and help others find a way forward.
