Bassist Jeff Ament has played with a lot of bands over the years, starting with Green River back in the mid-‘80s, moving on to Mother Love Bone, coming together for Temple of the Dog, and finally, finding stability and success with Pearl Jam. Today, Ament is just as excited as his bandmates to kick off Pearl Jam’s tour this upcoming year. He took advantage of last year’s pandemic to sit at home, reflect, and dig deeper into what kind of music he wants to create. “I quite liked it,” he said of the quiet time he spent at home with his loved ones.
