The Deep Ellum Foundation team dug through archives, tracked down old flyers, some of them the kind that used to land straight in your mailbox, and gathered DIY band promos, photographs, and video footage capturing \u201990s rock in its prime. Together, these pieces recreate the raw, analog ways the scene spread and the spaces where Deep Ellum\u2019s reputation for live music took hold.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the time, Deep Ellum venues hosted many up-and-coming bands, especially from those with an alternative rock sound.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cMy favorite time of Trees was probably the mid-\u201990s, \u201994, \u201995, \u201996. By that time, all the grunge <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">bands had already come through, and they moved on to bigger venues. Leading up to that <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">point, is kind of where Trees got its reputation,\u201d longtime Trees employee Rusty Davis said in the press release. \u201cWe had Sound Garden, Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots, Smashing Pumpkins, Joan Jett, Iggy Pop, every band you could imagine. And they were on their way up, and we were a stepping stone at that time. But my favorite thing about Trees or Deep Ellum in general was we were a neighborhood. We looked out for each other.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On March 13, the exhibit will be open from 4-7 p.m., and you can reserve your spot <\/span><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eventbrite.com\/e\/behind-the-music-90s-exhibit-opening-tickets-1984063602645?aff=oddtdtcreator\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">here<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. It will be available to view through June. If you have a story about this era of Deep Ellum or a music collectible to show off, you can contribute via an interactive wall in the exhibit to be chronicled in the Deep Ellum Archive, according to the press release. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>                    <!--begin code --><\/p>\n<div class=\"pp-multiple-authors-boxes-wrapper pp-multiple-authors-wrapper pp-multiple-authors-layout-boxed multiple-authors-target-the-content box-post-id-159319 box-instance-id-1 ppma_boxes_159319\" data-post_id=\"159319\" data-instance_id=\"1\" data-additional_class=\"pp-multiple-authors-layout-boxed.multiple-authors-target-the-content\" data-original_class=\"pp-multiple-authors-boxes-wrapper pp-multiple-authors-wrapper box-post-id-159319 box-instance-id-1\">\n<p>                                                                            <span class=\"ppma-layout-prefix\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"ppma-author-category-wrap\">\n                                                                                                                                    <span class=\"ppma-category-group ppma-category-group-1 category-index-0\"><\/p>\n<ul class=\"pp-multiple-authors-boxes-ul author-ul-0\">\n<li class=\"pp-multiple-authors-boxes-li author_index_0 author_medwards has-avatar\">\n<div class=\"pp-author-boxes-avatar\">\n<div class=\"avatar-image\">\n                                                                                                                                                                                                                <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Madelyn Edwards\" src=\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/de19317ca2dfde9f1923a5adc9302a9d640b82604d14deeec34c6ee45688a42a?s=80&amp;d=mm&amp;r=g\" srcset=\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/de19317ca2dfde9f1923a5adc9302a9d640b82604d14deeec34c6ee45688a42a?s=160&amp;d=mm&amp;r=g 2x\" class=\"avatar avatar-80 photo\" height=\"80\" width=\"80\"\/>                                                                                                                                                                                                            <\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"pp-author-boxes-avatar-details\">\n<p>I am a North Texas native with roots in Arlington and Benbrook, and I graduated from the University of Texas at Arlington in 2018.
