SMASH BENEFIT
TRIBUTE TO SUB POP RECORDS
Hailed as “one of Seattle’s best new concert traditions” by the Seattle Times, A SMASH Benefit is an incredibly special sell-out event held at the Moore Theatre every fall, raising money to help SMASH provides access to healthcare to Puget Sound musicians. We pair Seattle's legacy music artists with local up-and-comers to pay tribute to music icons every year. Past tributes include David Bowie, Neil Young, Sam Cooke, U2, Stevie Wonder, and more.
This year SMASH is proud to pay tribute to local iconic record label Sub Pop on November 19, 2023, at The Moore Theatre.
Past performers include Dave Matthews, Stone Gossard, Mike McCready, Ayron Jones, Duff McKagan, Allen Stone, Ben Gibbard, Filthy Friends, Mike McCready, Thunderpussy, Zan Fiskum, The Smokey Brights, Shaina Shepherd, Shelby Earl, Naked Giants, Erik Howke of Portugal The Man and many more.

We will not have a local music scene without musicians living locally.

As musicians hustle to make ends meet, healthcare takes a backseat to expenses like rent and food. Seeing a doctor when it isn’t an emergency feels like a luxury, but it shouldn’t be. Musicians deserve access to high-quality health care services, and they shouldn’t have to be rich or an insurance expert to access it either.
When you support SMASH you help provide a safety net that allows our local musicians to feel cared for and focus their resources on other key living expenses, including their musical craft. In turn, our local musicians enrich our local culture, our economy, and our lives.
