    Eddie Vedder, ukuleleEddie Vedder, ukulele

    Eddie Vedder and his ukulele will drop in on Jones Hall on April 22, part of a 13-city tour that doesn't involve Pearl Jam. Vedder is touring behind his 2011 album Ukulele Songs, which, as billed, feature Vedder singing and stumming the four-stringed instrument.

    He'll be joined on the tour by Glen Hansard, who was pretty well known with the Frames before the Swell Season made him an even better-known guy in these parts.

    Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. on Feb. 3 at 800-745-3000 or www.livenation.com. There will be a pre-sale for members of Pearl Jam's Ten Club (info at www.pearljam.com).

    I loved Glen when he was in The Commitments. Great fictional band playing great music. And it was a wonderful movie to boot.

    Is Eddy Vedder this washed up? It reminds me of David Lee Roth doing "Strummin with the Devil;" Jump, Panama, and Hot for Teacher played in the style of bluegrass music.

    I wonder if he will do a uke version of Even Flow as an encore.

    hey, hey, my, my
    rock and roll will never die
    hang your hair down in your eye
    you'll make a million dollars

    well i was in this band goin' nowhere fast
    we sent out demos but everybody passed
    so one day we finally took the plunge
    moved out to seattle to play some grunge
    washington state that is
    space needle
    eddie vedder
    mudhoney

    now to fit in fast we wear flannel shirts
    we turn our amps up until it hurts
    we've got bad attitudes and what's more
    when we play we stare straight down at the floor
    wowee
    pretty scary
    how pensive
    how totally alternative

    now to fit in on the seattle scene
    you've gotta do somethin' they ain't never seen
    so thinkin' up a gimmick one day
    we decided to be the only band that wouldn't play a note
    under any circumstances
    silence
    music's original alternative
    root's grunge

    well we spread the word through the underground
    that we were the hottest new thing in town
    the record guy came out to see us one day
    and just like always we didn't play
    it knocked him out
    he said he loved our work
    he said he loved our work but he wasn't sure if he could sell a record
    with nothing on it
    i said tell 'em we're from seattle
    he advanced us two and a half million dollars

    Eddie Vedder is amazingly talented! His voice is one of a kind and iconic. People need to show their respect.
