ABOUT PEARL JAM
At the dawn of the ’90s, Pearl Jam came together to form one of the most influential bands of the modern era. Beginning with their iconic debut album, “Ten,” in 1991 and continuing through to today, the quintet have consistently combined the perfect amalgam of punk aesthetics with anthemic, classic rock sounds, and in the process have created one of the most respected catalogs in rock history. For the past 18 years, Pearl Jam has remained a relevant cultural and political force, having completed countless international tours and selling over 60 million records worldwide.
