Eddie Vedder
7:01 am | Eddie Vedder can’t help but bring expectations with him to the stage. Pearl Jam not only helped shape what people know as “grunge,” but with a life spanning decades, countless hits, and a crazy touring schedule, the band has also become an international juggernaut. So how does Vedder put all of that aside? Ukulele songs. With this new album, Vedder sheds all the “cheap hoopla” of rock in favor of words, melodies, and smooth chord progressions. His voice, smooth and frighteningly intimate, still hints at his rock underpinnings. His lyrics feel personal, even if they were written by others. His inclusion of covers seems natural. They fit the scope and tone of the record and give him the opportunity to go beyond his own writing. Perhaps most interesting is his way of playing the ukulele. This small, four-stringed Hawaiian instrument is best known for accompanying singers. He does not tolerate heavy play and has a soft voice. These qualities seem to bring out the best in Vedder’s voice, and the two together make for strong and soulful dialogue. Vedder performed at the Terrace Theater last night. In case you haven’t made it, he’s playing The Wiltern on Friday.
