SOUND CITY is a feature-length documentary film directed and produced by Dave Grohl. The film tells the story of the SOUND CITY recording studio in Van Nuys, Calif. where Grohl’s former band Nirvana and other legendary artists recorded many of rock & roll’s most revered works. The film also explores the human element vital to the creation of these classic albums, with both the film and the companion album, SOUND CITY: REAL TO REEL, which features many of the original SOUND CITY artists creating new original music. More recently, Dave Grohl convened the SOUND CITY PLAYERS for a limited number of one-time-only shows which brought together his Foo Fighters and Nirvana co-collaborators with Stevie Nicks, John Fogerty, Rick Springfield, Lee Ving of Fear, Rick Nielsen, Brad Wilk of Rage Against The Machine, Corey Taylor of Slipknot and Stone Sour, Chris Goss of Masters of Reality and Alain Johannes.

“We’re always looking for new ways to give our customers access, and what better way than to offer a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see some of the legendary names in music perform together,” said Jennifer Breithaupt, Senior Vice President of Entertainment Marketing at Citi. “The buzz and enthusiasm around Sound City has been infectious, and we expect this show to be one of the most sought-after performances in Austin.”
