# Mike McCready

Mike McCready (Pensacola, 5 de abril de 1966) é um músico estadunidense, guitarrista da banda Pearl Jam. Foi apresentado por Chris Cornell (Soundgarden) aos integrantes do extinto Mother Love Bone, Stone Gossard e Jeff Ament no projeto de Cornell, Temple of the Dog e convidando para ingressar na banda após alguns de seus membros terem assistido uma apresentação sua, na qual além de ter tocado muito bem, se lamentava de não ter equipamento próprio. Suas principais influências são Jimi Hendrix e Stevie Ray Vaughan. Tocou nas bandas Warrior/Shadow (1978 a 1988) e Temple of The Dog (1990 a 2016). Ingressou no Pearl Jam em 1990.
