    Mike McCready and Barrett Martin Resurrect Mad Season and perform live with Chris Cornell, Duff McKagan & the Seattle Symphony; McCready also performs original symphonic work.
    December 15 2014

    On Friday, January 30th, 2015 at 8pm, Mike McCready will join Ludovic Morlot and the Seattle Symphony for a special Cross-genre concert presentation “Sonic Evolution”.

    The concert features the world premiere and Seattle Symphony commission of Waking the Horizon, a symphonic work by Mike McCready (arranged by Scott Teske).

    Joining Ludovic Morlot, the Symphony, and members of Vocalpoint! Seattle on stage, McCready will perform during the piece. Ludovic commented during a recent score reading with McCready: “With this collaboration we are both coming out of our normal comfort zones. This is an incredible opportunity to learn from one another and give ourselves a chance to grow as artists.”

    Mike McCready will also perform with supergroup Mad Season, including original drummer Barrett Martin. The star studded line up will also include iconic Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell and Guns N’ Roses bassist Duff McKagan. Ludovic Morlot will lead guest musicians and the Seattle Symphony in a debut performance of orchestral and solo arrangements of original Mad Season works.

    Chris Cornell, Duff McKagan to Join Reunited Mad Season
    The grunge supergroup, which also features Pearl Jam and Screaming Trees members, will perform next month with Seattle Symphony

    By Kory Grow | December 15, 2014

    The grunge supergroup Mad Season, which put out their sole album Above in 1995, will reunite next year for a performance with the Seattle Symphony. Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell will fill in for the group's singer – Alice in Chains frontman Layne Staley, who died in 2002 following battles with addiction – while former Guns N' Roses bassist Duff McKagan will sit in for the band's bassist – Walkabouts member John Baker Saunders, who died of a heroin overdose in 1999. The rest of the original lineup – Pearl Jam guitarist Mike McCready and Screaming Trees drummer Barrett Martin – is confirmed to play the event.

    The performance is part of the Seattle Symphony's "Sonic Evolution" series, which pays tribute to the city's musical past. The first half of the program will feature French composer Yann Robin's Nirvana-inspired "Ashes," Angelique Poteat's Pearl Jam–inspired "Beyond Much Difference" and McCready's own "Walking the Horizon," which was arranged by Scott Teske. The guitarist will perform with the symphony during the latter piece.

    Mad Season will then perform after an intermission. The Symphony's conductor, Ludovic Morlot, will lead the band, the symphony and members of Seattle's Vocalpoint! ensemble in special arrangements of the Mad Season songs "River of Deceit," "I Don't Know Anything" and "Long Gone Day."

    The "Sonic Evolution" Program will take place on January 30th. Tickets are available on the symphony's website.

    Last year, Mad Season reissued Above as a deluxe reissue with DVD concert film, unreleased tracks and the band's unfinished second LP. Among those songs was the previously unreleased song "Locomotive."

    McCready previously made an appearance on the 2012 self-titled debut of Walking Papers, a group that features both McKagan and Martin.

    In March 2013, McCready told Billboard that he'd formed an unnamed, new group with McKagan and Martin and that the trio wrote music together while finishing up demos for Mad Season's unfinished sophomore release. "We are trying to find something to do with those," the guitarist said at the time. "We're talking to Jaz [Coleman] from Killing Joke and I've been trying to find some singers to work on some of that stuff."

    strange that 4 additional special guests were announced here: http://www.alternativenation.net/mad-season-rehearse-pearl-jam-headquarters/
    "Mad Season is pleased to announce that Jeff Angell from Walking Papers, singer Kim Virant, guitarist Tim DiJulio, and saxophonist Skerik will also be joining us on stage as they add their own unique contributions to the Mad Season songs."
    All other hints point to Ed/Jeff/Stone -- is it possible they aren't playing?

    With all due respect to those 4, I am highly doubtful they warrant consideration as special guests on that poster. Given that they went to the trouble to re-print that poster with the blank slots, I would tend to think the surprise guests will carry more weight.

    Very cool... thanks for sharing these links here. Looks like it was an amazing evening with an amazing set list. I wonder if there is any chance this becomes an official boot or, even maybe an instant classic with the proceeds going to kick hunger?

    Oh, and I guess the three surprise guests were Jeff, Stone and Sean Kinney then?
