Considering Everclear has written and recorded some truly iconic ’90s alt-rock hits, it would be all too easy these days for the band to be a victim of its past successes, relegated to performing as a glorified jukebox, existing to satisfy the nostalgic cravings of Gen Xers everywhere. But singer-guitarist Art Alexakis isn’t about to start phoning it in now. Everclear continues to tour extensively, and while it’s a virtual surety that no Everclear gig is complete without a rendition of “Santa Monica” and “Father of Mine,” lately the band has found that exploring the full range of past material – especially the “deep cuts” – not only gives fans a rare treat, it also injects new life into the band’s live dynamic.
“By mixing it up and digging into the catalogue, it still makes it fun and relevant for us, and I think for the fans as well,” says Alexakis. ” It’s still important to play the hits, but by playing those other songs as well, it makes it all seem more vibrant and real. Even though I recorded some of those songs 20 years ago, I haven’t played them in a long time, so it’s like reinventing the wheel. I’m having more fun now than I have in years. I think all of us are.”
Formed by Alexakis in 1991 in Portland, Oregon, Everclear has enjoyed a lengthy career spanning 11 studio releases, numerous videos, thousands of shows and accolades that include a 1998 Grammy nomination. Like a true survivor, Alexakis has soldiered on through multiple lineup changes over the years: During the “classic” era,the band also included Craig Montoya on Bass and Greg Eklund on drums; the current touring lineup features longtime members Davey French (guitar) and Freddy Herrera (bass), as well as drummer Brian Nolan (also withAmerican Hi-Fi), who has performed with Everclear on multiple past tours.

Our favorite band.
No not the drink duh!!! One of my most adored groups and nevertheless still going strong.
I love Everclear!
would be good to see a live band again
I saw Everclear in a small bar on Belmont Street before they made it big. I would sure love to see them again at the historic Crystal Ballroom. PDX Pipeline please hook a guy up with tickets.
Father of mine! I’d like two tickets to Everclear live baaaby, pick this Teenage Dirtbag, don’t say maaaybe. 😀
Portland Legends
Pick me!
I loved their music growing up… I’m 37 and feeling like I’m 67 at times. It’s only doing things like going to concerts, listening to awesome bands like this one!! That make me feel young again 🤞❤😘
Phasing music
I would love to win these!
I had a ticket to see them in the UK many years ago but they had to cancel. I’d love to have the opportunity to finally see them especially as it’s a hometown gig!
Everclear came up on my random playlist – it’s meant to be. Yes please and thank you!
I loved them back in the day and still now!!! EVERCLEEAAARRR!! YEEESSSSS!!!!!
LOVE Everclear – would love to see them in person and hear the rendition of “Santa Monica” and “Father of Mine” !!! ❤️
Who doesn’t need a little 190 proof!
I love them and really want to take my son Dirk! Should be a real party
Long time fan
Let me relive my highschool days!
Portland legends at a legendary Portland venue, I want to go to this so bad. I promise to be right up front at The Crystal rocking out to “Heroin Girl” if I win these tickets.
Haven’t been out to hear live music in a long, long time. Sounds fun!
Ahhh I’d love to attend this one! Please pick me 🙏🏼
This would be super nostalgic! They are a great band!
They were pretty big when I moved here in the early 90’s, but I like them a lot more now than I did then!
As a teen I skipped school and waited in line for hours for a chance to be an extra in the Wonderful video only to find out I wasnt old enough 🙁 I was lucky enough to see Everclear in concert after that but it would be awesome to take a trip back to the year 2000
Wow – this would be an incredible concert!!
This sounds so fun! Yes please 🙂
No better place to see this band than in Portland! I’d love to take my daughter to this epic show.
I need to flash back to the 1990s now.
Can’t wait for this show! Two of my favorite bands
gettin nostalgic over here! Loved Everclear so much, i can see it now, the smiley faced CD and packing my portable player to hop on the bus and jam all day between class.
I wish I could go back. Yeah back in time.
I recently reconnected with an old friend and I would sure love to win these tickets and take her to Everclear. We used to listen to the “Sparkle And Fade” CD together back in the day, plus free tickets leaves extra cash for food and drinks at Lola’s Room before the concert.
I need a night out to get my mind off the tragic events that have happened to my family because of COVID-19. I love this band and need some music to reignite my soul!!
Would love to see Everclear!
Portland Local and seeing them live !!
Yes This would be great
The sone “Wonderful” by Everclear literallly got me through my teenage years. I still play this song for friends when I try to explain the hardest times of my life. Seeing it live would mean so much!
Ooh pick me!🤩 this would be so fun! I love Everclear!
With my big black boots and an old suitcase, I do believe I’m just a teenage dirtbag looking for my place… at the Crystal Ballroom!
Hell yes to Everclear! One of my first CDs! My sister and I would have a blast at this show
One of my first CD’s! Would love to go back to that era!🤞😀🍺🎵
Last time I saw this band in Portland, OR it was the late 1990’s. I would love to see them again!! Such a great sound from local artists!
wow i was a huge fan of everclear back in the day! take me back to zimas and making out in the back staircase please!
Yes!!!! Growing up here: this would be such a treat & enjoyable experience for me-as I last saw them before I moved away in 1997 to finish my studies in another state. Now moving back home (2017) after many years in the Southwest: this show will be another exciting example of why I am a Proud Portland Native only w/goals of becoming that “Volvo Driving Soccer Mom”⚽️
This music will NEVER die!!
This group is on of many in the colorful Soundtrack to my life!!!!
Oh yessssssssssss. This concert is going to be so fun. Please pick me!
Would love to see these guys here in Portland!
They never disappoint! Sounds like a great evening.
My partner and I have been practicing our 90s rock singing for the past 30 years and it would be an honor to bust it out live with a hometown band!
This would bring back some memories! I’d love to take my husband for his birthday.
Welcome home! Art came to my store this one time and I was like every other fan boy and froze in my tracks. This won’t happen again!
I would love to see them!
one of my husbands favorite bands!!!!!! please pick me
This would totally make my year!
I love Everclear.
Had Teenage Dirtbag on repeat!
Would love to attend because their alternative style speaks to me during the autumn season, I was just listening to them the other day!
Well if it ain’t too late, pick me! What a great Saturday night in Portland.
Was just going through their songs sharing with my girlfriend. She didn’t say that Everclear was the headliner!! Make my year, it has been a hard one for many, but also for us. We just can’t afford tickets.
Everclear! My 8th grade self would be so proud of me if I got to see them live!!! 🖤🖤🖤
WOot!
Love them!!!:) xoxo
I would love to take my friend to see Everclear as it is his birthday weekend and this way I won’t have to buy him a gift.
So nostalgic! I would LOVE to see them both!!!
I’d love to take my best friend for her birthday!
I would love to see them!🎉
This is going to be a great show!!
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I’ve never seen Everclear live – that would be a good show!
Love them!
Hopefully you draw on November 4th instead of October 4th and magically you pull my name!
Hoping you meant November 4th and you still intend to draw a name because this would be an amazing opportunity to relive those 90s teenage dirt dirtbag days again and revisit all those forgotten memories that seem to come flooding back every time any Everclear track begins to play.
I love Everclear spirits (mixed of course) and Everclear the band! Would love to introduce them to each other live! Plus if I won tickets I might gets lucky with the wife since it’s one of her fav bands!
Missed seeing them back in the day and would love another shot! Missing live music so much these days!!
