SICKMAN - the Alice in chains tribute band
SICKMAN the Ultimate Alice in Chains tribute is the southeast’s most accurate homage to the dark melodies and iconic harmonies of one of the pioneers of the 90’s grunge movement, Seattle’s own ALICE IN CHAINS. Since the band’s inception in 2006, SICKMAN has played hundreds of shows from the Carolina’s to Tennessee and West Virginia, currently celebrating their 20th year of existence on the local tribute scene. Hailing from their homebase of Charlotte, NC the four piece consists of Randall Sehvan Hargrove (guitar/ vocals), Monte Anderson (guitar/ vocals), David Littell (bass) and Gary Knight (drums), four experienced musicians you deliver a sound nearly as close as the actual recordings themselves. The band covers the entire musical catalog of Alice in Chains music, to include not only the well known classics but also some rare B-sides and even some of the more current hits of the newly reformed Alice In Chains. If you have ever had the pleasure of seeing and experiencing Alice in Chains live, SICKMAN is a can’t miss performance you have to witness to believe and appreciate.

As Daylight Dies is a dynamic tribute to Killswitch Engage. As Daylight Dies was born in February 2024, the result of a shared passion for Killswitch Engage and a desire to push musical boundaries. Guitarist Nathan Sieg and bassist Gray Williams, fresh from an ambitious but short-lived ’90s tribute project, were eager to explore something new. They knew a tribute band was in their future—but the question remained: who would they honor? One thing was clear—they wanted to go heavy. Metalcore heavy. And who better to pay homage to than the legendary Killswitch Engage? The idea quickly gained momentum. Vocalist Guy Elliot and drummer Clint Lentz soon joined the fold, and from the very first rehearsal, the chemistry was undeniable. It was clear to everyone—they had the potential to create something extraordinary. As Daylight Dies is here to bring the raw energy and power of Killswitch Engage to the Triad and beyond!
