EVERCLEAR, one of the leading alternative rock bands to emerge from the ’90s, celebrated its 30th anniversary in recent years, and founder, vocalist, and guitarist Art Alexakis has made it clear that he has no plans to slow down. Everclear hits the Rochester Opera House stage on Sunday, July 26. Doors open at 6:00 p.m., with the opener taking the stage at 7:00 p.m.

Beginning with their major-label debut, 1995’s platinum-selling album Sparkle and Fade, and its massive chart-topping hit “Santa Monica,” EVERCLEAR soon became a household name and broke into the mainstream, allowing their impressive three-decade career to prosper and endure. Since forming in 1992, EVERCLEAR has enjoyed a lengthy career by any measure, spanning 11 studio releases, including four certified Gold or Platinum albums, selling more than 6 million records, and achieving 12 Top 40 hit singles on Mainstream Rock, Alternative, and Adult Top 40 radio. Those hits include “Santa Monica,” “Father of Mine,” “I Will Buy You A New Life,” “Wonderful,” and “Everything To Everyone,” as well as numerous videos, thousands of shows, and various other accolades, including a 1998 Grammy nomination. More than three decades later, Everclear’s enduring legacy and ongoing appeal as a live band continue.

In 2019, while being treated for an injury caused by a minor car accident, Alexakis was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) and learned that he had likely been living with the disease for nearly 20 years. Since being diagnosed, Art has donated one dollar from every ticket purchased for his performances to charities such as Sweet Relief Musicians Fund and the National MS Society.
