Power to the People Festival, Merriweather Post Pavilion, Columbia, MD, 10-3-2026, Part 2 - Jack Sabbath, Suns of Soundgarden

Here's the second out of ten albums of the October 2026 Power to the People Festival. It's the first "proper" one, since it contains mp3s of each song instead of just one big file per music act. Actually, this contains two acts, Jack Sabbath and Suns of Soundgarden. I've put them together because their sets are rather short. Both of them also are similar in nature, since they're tribute bands playing songs from just one artist.

First is Jack Sabbath. The lead singer of this band is Jack Black, the famous actor. For this concert, they only covered songs by the heavy metal band Black Sabbath. As far as I can tell, this has been their one and only concert, at least so far. They haven't released any recorded music either.

Although Black is primarily known as an actor, he's had a long and successful career in music as well. He has an excellent voice, which he's shown off in some movies, like "High Fidelity." He's been part of a rock duo called Tenacious D since 1994. For this apparently one-off performance, all the other musicians he played with were quite young. Looking at video footage of them playing, I'm guessing they're all in their early teens. It's just like a real life version of his movie "School of Rock." The other band members are Roman Morello, son of Tom Morello (who organized the festival), Revel Ian, son of Scott Ian (leader of the thrash metal band Anthrax), Yokoya Soma, and Hugo Weiss. For their last song, "War Pigs," they were joined by Geezer Butler, the original bassist and lyricist for Black Sabbath.  

The second band here, Suns of Soundgarden, is very similar to the first one, except they're a tribute band for Soundgarden instead of Black Sabbath. (And by the way, I double checked, and their name is "Suns," not "Sons." Perhaps that's a reference to Soundgarden's best known song, "Black Hole Sun.") This also seems to have their their one and only performance, at least so far, and they also haven't released any recorded music. The band consists of Taylor Momsen from the Pretty Reckless on lead vocals, Matt Cameron from Soundgarden and Pearl Jam on drums, Mike McCready from Pearl Jam on guitar, Tom Morello from Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave also on guitar, and Robbie Mangano on bass.

These are a little out of order in terms of the order of the music acts in the festival, but I put them together for the reasons mentioned above. In case you're curious, Jack Sabbath performed before Killer Mike, and Suns of Soundgarden performed before Public Enemy later in the day. 

This album is 37 minutes long.
