Eddie 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.
Anon_Marky: Troll.
Vedder playing Jones Hall, Hansard along for the ride? I'm in.
Anon_Marky: No Eddie is NOT washed up. He is very good on the ukulele, some songs are beautiful!
I'm SO there!!!
Very bold on Eddie's part because he cannot sing.You would have to pay me....alot to go to this.
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.
