Before Nirvana or Pearl Jam, there was Tina Bell, the godmother of grunge. Musicians pay tribute in upcoming concert

On July 9, Seattle-area musicians pay tribute to the legacy of Tina Bell, the Black woman they revere as one of the founders of grunge, by p

Seattle-area musician Om Johari, singer for Bad Brains tribute band Re-Ignition, used to sneak out after curfew to go to Bam Bam shows as a teenager. Johari says she was inspired to see a fellow Black woman screaming into a microphone in front of crowds in the Seattle hard-rock scene, which wasn’t always inclusive of Black people or women. She says Bell doesn’t receive the recognition she deserves as one of the founders of grunge music, because of sexism and racism. Bam Bam bassist Scott Ledgerwood says grunge stars like Cobain roadied for Bam Bam before they were famous — Ledgerwood remembers jokingly yelling at Cobain for dropping his guitar, saying Ledgerwood was the one who was supposed to give the guitar character, and seeing the future Nirvana frontman “sitting at the side of the stage hugging his knees” at Bam Bam shows, completely absorbed in the music.
