Join us in Seattle for the Annual Tribute Show to celebrate the life, music and legacy of Layne and other Seattle musicians, gone too soon. Held each August near Layne’s birthday, all proceeds from the tribute weekend will be donated to Layne Staley Memorial Fund benefitting Therapeutic Health Services (THS), an addiction and recovery organization working to help those struggling with addiction, and supporting those on the path to recovery.

Substance abuse continues to be a major health concern in the greater Seattle area. Layne Staley Tribute Weekend is our 23-year ongoing commitment to raising awareness of the addiction epidemic and to the related resources available for those in our communities that are in need of empathy, assistance and support.
