THE MIDWEST’S DEFINITIVE TRIBUTES TO PEARL JAM & NIRVANA

Crank up the distortion for a night of high-energy rock as Rearview and Whatever, Nevermind deliver the hits, the deep cuts, and the unmistakable spirit of the grunge era live and loud.

ABOUT THE BANDS

Rearview (Pearl Jam Tribute) Rearview is the Midwest’s premier tribute to one of the most influential American rock bands of all time. Based in Chicago, the lineup- vocalist Ed Wood, guitarists Tim Ores and Brett Deardorff, bassist Dana Sutter, and drummer Jeremy Lippelt – is dedicated to capturing the authentic sound and soul of a live Pearl Jam show.

As true fans themselves, Rearview digs deep into the catalog to deliver a unique setlist every night. From massive radio anthems to the covers Pearl Jam made their own, Rearview provides the immersive concert experience fans expect. Whether they are playing major festivals or intimate clubs, they bring the passion and musicality that defined a generation.

Whatever, Nevermind (Nirvana Tribute) Self-anointed as the world’s best Nirvana tribute, Chicago’s own Whatever, Nevermind doesn’t just replicate the music—they channel the raw energy and chaotic power that made Kurt Cobain and company legends. From the haunting melodies of MTV Unplugged in New York to the full-throttle electric roar of Nevermind and In Utero, they play it all.

This tight-knit 4-piece meticulously recreates the nuances of Kurt, Dave, Krist, and Pat, delivering note-for-note authenticity with a dynamic stage presence. Whether you’re looking for “Smells Like Teen Spirit” or deep cuts from Incesticide, Whatever, Nevermind offers a time-machine trip back to the 90s that captivates fans of all ages.
