“As our principal fundraiser, Founders Award is always a special event for MoPOP and we’re thrilled this year to honor Alice In Chains and provide free access to this magical evening fans around the world,” MoPOP Executive Director Alexis Lee said in a press release. “We’re proud to call Alice In Chains hometown heroes but we know we share them with the world.”

Hailing out of the bourgeoning grudge movement coming out of Seattle in the late 1980s and early 1990s, Alice In Chains gained prominence alongside their contemporaries Soundgarden, Pearl Jam and Nirvana. Their last album Rainier Fog came out in 2018, while Magnetic Eye Records debuted a redux version of their 1992 record Dirt earlier this year.
