Layne Staley Tribute & Benefit 2026
Lineup
Based out of New England, Jar Of Flies is an acoustic tribute band celebrating the dark, soulful, and hauntingly beautiful sound of Alice In Chains. Capturing the essence of the band’s iconic MTV Unplugged performance, Jar Of Flies delivers faithful, emotionally charged renditions of AIC’s most powerful songs — from Nutshell and Down in a Hole to Rooster and No Excuses.
Nine Vicious constructs live shows around dense layers of distorted electronics and abrasive guitar lines that generate a heavy, immersive atmosphere marked by controlled shadows, synchronized lighting shifts, and sustained low-end frequencies designed to press against the chest.
Dylan Gossett (born March 11, 1999) is an American country singer-songwriter from Austin, Texas. He has released two studio EPs and an album. He is signed to Big Loud Texas/Mercury Records and has a global publishing deal with Universal Music Group Nashville. His second self-released single, "Coal", made the Billboard Hot 100. Gossett released Westward on July 18, 2025.
Right now, we’re standing on the edge of a whole new chapter for this band. In just a few weeks we’ll be heading across America for a run of shows with The Red Clay Strays, and honestly, it still feels a little surreal saying that out loud. Join the Sweet Talk mailing list and you’ll be the first to hear about new music, tour dates, merch drops and the occasional update from the band as it all unfolds.
