Erstwhile Washingtonian Dave Grohl will be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame for the second time. Grohl’s band, Foo Fighters, will be part of the 2021 class of inductees, and his former band Nirvana was inducted in 2014.
Grohl grew up in Springfield, and he attended a combo of Thomas Jefferson High School, Bishop Ireton High School, and Annandale High School. He’d take the Metro in to see bands play at the 9:30 Club, and he eventually played with local groups Dain Bramage, Mission Impossible, and Freak Baby before joining up with the band Scream. (He later moved to Seattle when he joined Nirvana.) The Foo Fighters also recorded at Grohl’s house in Alexandria.
