Nirvana singer, songwriter and guitarist Kurt Cobain "was a visionary artist who touched people all over the world," said Krist Novoselic, the band's bassist and co-founder. "It's great to celebrate that contribution to music and culture. There's a story with Nirvana at its center, but it's a story that also includes the many people, bands and institutions that make up a music community. The show is a celebration of Northwest music."
