Vocalist Chris Cornell (Soundgarden, Audioslave) will perform with Mad Season featuring original guitarist Mike McCready (Pearl Jam) and drummer Barrett Martin (Screaming Trees), alongside bassist Duff McKagan (Guns N' Roses, Velvet Revolver), plus the Seattle Symphony Orchestra at a special Sonic Evolution Concert at Seattle's Benaroya Hall on January 30th. Further details and ticket info is available at SeattleSymphony.org or by calling 206-215-4747 (long distance charges may apply).

Former Alice In Chains singer Layne Staley originally fronted Mad Season from 1994 to 1996. The band dissolved following the death of bassist John Baker Saunders in 1999. Staley died three years later; both musicians succumbing to a drug overdose.

Mad Season only released one album, 1995's Above. It spawned three singles: "River Of Deceit", "I Don't Know Anything", and "Long Gone Day".

In 2013, Above was reissued as a three-disc deluxe edition set comprised of two CDs and one DVD plus a full-color collector's booklet with previously unseen photographs and an essay by Barrett Martin.

CD 1 features the original album plus an unreleased acoustic instrumental titled "Interlude", three new songs from the Mad Season's unfinished second album with newly recorded vocals and lyrics by Mark Lanegan, and a remixed version of the band's John Lennon cover "I Don't Wanna Be A Soldier".

CD 2 features the full audio set from the Mad Season's historical performance at the Moore Theater in Seattle on April 29, 1995, remastered in stereo sound.

The DVD features the first official DVD release of Live At The Moore - Mad Season's last show ever performed. Not only has Live At The Moore been remixed and remastered, but newly edited by director Duncan Sharp for a beautiful new documentary-like presentation, giving the show an updated look as if the viewer were in room that night. Also included are four performances that have never been seen, including the fan-favorite "Wake Up".

Also featured is a full concert of the band's performance from New Year's Eve 1995 at RKCNDY in Seattle (which was shot by the band's crew for an up close and intimate look at the band) and both performances from Self-Pollution Radio, one newly edited.
