Cat's Cradle (venue)
[1][2] In the early 1990s, it contributed to the Chapel Hill region being called the "Next Seattle" by the music press, given that the club hosted upcoming regional and national alternative and grunge acts such as Nirvana (who last performed there just 10 days after the release of Nevermind), Pearl Jam, Sonic Youth,[2] The Smashing Pumpkins,[3] and Ween (who documented their December 9, 1992, performance with At the Cat's Cradle, 1992).[4] In later years, the venue also saw performances by John Mayer, Iggy Pop, Sonic Youth and Joan Baez.[7] The original Cat's Cradle was opened in 1969 by Marcia Wilson and two partners, Mike Cross and Larry Reynolds.After a six month hiatus in 1993, Cat's Cradle moved to its current location on Main Street.In recent years, an additional yet smaller club next door called Cat’s Cradle Back Room was opened.
